Comunica Service Query Operation Actor

A Query Operation actor that handles SPARQL SERVICE clauses of which the target is a variable.

SERVICE clauses with an IRI target are rewritten into source-annotated operations by @comunica/actor-optimize-query-operation-assign-sources-exhaustive.

Variable targets are disabled by default, as the queried data then determines what is dereferenced, which is problematic when queries originate from untrusted parties. They can be enabled via the serviceAllowVariableTargets context entry.

This module is part of the Comunica framework, and should only be used by developers that want to build their own query engine.
