    - #### getEffectiveBooleanValue

          public static boolean getEffectiveBooleanValue​(Value value)
                                                  throws ValueExprEvaluationException

      Determines the effective boolean value (EBV) of the supplied value as defined in the SPARQL specification:
      - The EBV of any literal whose type is xsd:boolean or numeric is false if the lexical form is not valid for that datatype (e.g. "abc"^^xsd:integer).
      - If the argument is a typed literal with a datatype of xsd:boolean, the EBV is the value of that argument.
      - If the argument is a plain literal or a typed literal with a datatype of xsd:string, the EBV is false if the operand value has zero length; otherwise the EBV is true.
      - If the argument is a numeric type or a typed literal with a datatype derived from a numeric type, the EBV is false if the operand value is NaN or is numerically equal to zero; otherwise the EBV is true.
      - All other arguments, including unbound arguments, produce a type error.
      Parameters:
        `value` - Some value.
      Returns:
        The EBV of value.
      Throws:
        `ValueExprEvaluationException` - In case the application of the EBV algorithm results in a type error.

    - #### compareLiterals

          public static boolean compareLiterals​(Literal leftLit,
                                                Literal rightLit,
                                                Compare.CompareOp operator)
                                         throws ValueExprEvaluationException

      Compares the supplied `Literal` arguments using the supplied operator, using strict (minimally-conforming) SPARQL 1.1 operator behavior.
      Parameters:
        `leftLit` - the left literal argument of the comparison.
        `rightLit` - the right literal argument of the comparison.
        `operator` - the comparison operator to use.
      Returns:
        `true` if execution of the supplied operator on the supplied arguments succeeds, `false` otherwise.
      Throws:
        `ValueExprEvaluationException` - if a type error occurred.

    - #### compareLiterals

          public static boolean compareLiterals​(Literal leftLit,
                                                Literal rightLit,
                                                Compare.CompareOp operator,

        `leftLit` - the left literal argument of the comparison.
        `rightLit` - the right literal argument of the comparison.
        `operator` - the comparison operator to use.
        `strict` - boolean indicating whether comparison should use strict (minimally-conforming) SPARQL 1.1 operator behavior, or extended behavior.
      Returns:
        `true` if execution of the supplied operator on the supplied arguments succeeds, `false` otherwise.
      Throws:
        `ValueExprEvaluationException` - if a type error occurred.

    - #### isPlainLiteral

          public static boolean isPlainLiteral​(Value v)
