$ java -jar taq.jar dictionary
Running query query_in_words in global scope
in_words(inadequate, "j. not sufficient to meet a need)
in_words(incentive, "n. a positive motivational influence)
in_words(incidence, "n. the relative frequency of occurrence of something)
in_words(incident, "n. a public disturbance)
...dictionary.taq demonstrates a bi-directional resource. The data source reads a file containing words starting with “i” and the data consumer sends the query result to the console. The “query_in_words” query uses a regular expression to select words starting with “in”.
The “lexicon” resource is declared at the top of dictionary.taq and this is a requirement as it is referenced everywhere only by this name. The declaration of this resource includes a property to specify the resource provider
resource lexicon(provider=“lexicon.LexiconProvider”)
The provider property is not oblgatory as the provider can also be specified by the application executing the query. The property is used here because the application inside taq.jar is generic. The order of the two role qualifiers in the bi-directional resource declaration is required to be data source followed by data consumer. Note there is no comma delimiter between the two.
Data source declared as an axiom source (resource provider itself)
axiom dictionary(word, definition)
Data consumer declared as a template (the “in_words” template)
template in_words
