  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getURI

          public final String getURI()

      Specified by:
        `getURI` in interface `Function`

    - #### evaluate

          public Literal evaluate​(ValueFactory valueFactory,
                                  Value... args)
                           throws ValueExprEvaluationException

      Description copied from interface: `Function`
      Evaluate the function over the supplied input arguments, using the supplied `ValueFactory` to produce the result.
      Specified by:
        `evaluate` in interface `Function`
      Parameters:
        `valueFactory` - a `ValueFactory` to use for producing the function result.
        `args` - the function input arguments.
      Returns:
        the function result value.
      Throws:
        `ValueExprEvaluationException`

    - #### convert

          protected abstract Literal convert​(ValueFactory vf,
                                             Value v)
                                      throws ValueExprEvaluationException

      Convert the supplied value to a literal of the function output datatype.
      Parameters:
        `vf` - the valueFactory to use
        `v` - a value that is not a string-typed literal, and not a literal of the same datatype as the function output datatype.
      Returns:
        a literal value of the function output datatype
      Throws:
        `ValueExprEvaluationException` - if an error occurs in conversion.

    - #### getXsdDatatype

          protected abstract IRI getXsdDatatype()

      Get the specific XML Schema datatype which this function returns.
      Returns:
        an XML Schema datatype IRI

    - #### getXsdName

          protected String getXsdName()

      Returns a prefixed name representation of the specific datatype that this function returns
      Returns:
        a prefixed name, e.g. 'xsd:integer'.

    - #### isValidForDatatype

          protected abstract boolean isValidForDatatype​(String lexicalValue)

      Verifies that the supplied lexical value is valid for the datatype.
      Parameters:
        `lexicalValue` - a lexical value
      Returns:
        true if the lexical value is valid for the datatype, false otherwise.

    - #### typeError

          protected final ValueExprEvaluationException typeError​(Value arg,
                                                                 Throwable cause)

      Creates a `ValueExprEvaluationException` that signals a type error.
      Parameters:
        `arg` - the function argument value.
        `cause` - root cause throwable. May be null.
      Returns:
        a `ValueExprEvaluationException` with a standardized message and wrapped cause.
