Possible to iterate through a Concept?
  
 
Posted: Jan 6, 2012

I know that I can find the number of members in a concept with the “countmember” function, but I’m not seeing a way to iterate through the Concept and pull out each member.  Is this something that can be done?


Thank you

yes, with caveats

Concepts are just facts of the form:

(xxx member conceptname)

So you can query for all facts that are members of conceptname, and then use the fact set iterators to pull out the members.
eq query(direct_vo ? member ~animals)


Caveats include: 

1. Fact sets are limited to about 10,000 facts, and so will discard extra members beyond that.
2. concepts can be nested, so you would have to detect that and walk the subnest as a separate query.
