Title: Reification styles (archive material) ## Reification styles Prior to version 2.10.0 of Jena, there were 3 styles of reification, "standard", "minimal" and "convenient". As of 2.10.0 and later, only what was previously the "standard" style is supported. By default and as you might expect, Jena models allow reification quads to be manifested as `ReifiedStatement`s. Similarly, explicitly created `ReifiedStatement`s are visible as statement quads. Sometimes, this is not desirable. For example, in an application that reifies large numbers of statements in the same model as those statements, most of the results from `listStatements()` will be quadlets; this is inefficient and confusing. One choice is to reify the statements in a *different* model. Another is to take advantage of *reification styles*. Each model has a reification style, described by constants in `ModelFactory`. The default style is called `Standard` because it behaves more closely to the RDF standard. There are two other reification styles to choose from: - `Convenient`: reification quadlets are not visible in the results of `listStatements)()`. Otherwise everything is normal; quadlets that are added to the model contribute to `ReifiedStatement` construction. - `Minimal`: reification quadlets play no role at all in the construction of `ReifiedStatement`s, which can only be created by the methods discussed earlier. This style is most similar to that of Jena 1. The method `ModelFactory.createDefaultModel()` takes an optional `Style` argument, which defaults to `Standard`. Similarly, `createFileModelMaker()` and `createMemModelMaker()` can take `Style` arguments which are applied to every model they create. To take a model with hidden reification quads and expose them as statements, the method `ModelFactory.withHiddenStatements(Model m)` produces a new model which does just that.
