 /**
- * The <structname>TrackerSparqlConnection</structname> object represents a
- * SPARQL connection.
+ * `TrackerSparqlConnection` holds a connection to a RDF triple store.
+ * 
+ * This triple store may be of three types:
+ * 
+ *  - Local to the process, created through [ctor`Tracker`.SparqlConnection.new].
+ *  - A HTTP SPARQL endpoint over the network, created through
+ *    [ctor`Tracker`.SparqlConnection.remote_new]
+ *  - A DBus SPARQL endpoint owned by another process in the same machine, created
+ *    through [ctor`Tracker`.SparqlConnection.bus_new]
+ * 
+ * When creating a local triple store, it is required to give details about its
+ * structure. This is done by passing a location to an ontology, see more
+ * on how are [ontologies defined](ontologies.html). A local database may be
+ * stored in a filesystem location, or it may reside in memory.
+ * 
+ * A `TrackerSparqlConnection` is private to the calling process, it can be
+ * exposed to other hosts/processes via a [class`Tracker`.Endpoint], see
+ * [ctor`Tracker`.EndpointDBus.new] and [ctor`Tracker`.EndpointHttp.new].
+ * 
+ * When issuing SPARQL queries and updates, it is recommended that these are
+ * created through [class`Tracker`.SparqlStatement] to avoid the SPARQL
+ * injection class of bugs, see [method`Tracker`.SparqlConnection.query_statement]
+ * and [method`Tracker`.SparqlConnection.update_statement]. For SPARQL updates
+ * it is also possible to use a "builder" approach to generate RDF data, see
+ * [class`Tracker`.Resource]. It is also possible to create [class`Tracker`.SparqlStatement]
+ * objects for SPARQL queries and updates from SPARQL strings embedded in a
+ * [struct`Gio`.Resource], see [method`Tracker`.SparqlConnection.load_statement_from_gresource].
+ * 
+ * To get the best performance, it is recommended that SPARQL updates are clustered
+ * through [class`Tracker`.Batch].
+ * 
+ * `TrackerSparqlConnection` also offers a number of methods for the simple cases,
+ * [method`Tracker`.SparqlConnection.query] may be used when there is a SPARQL
+ * query string directly available, and the [method`Tracker`.SparqlConnection.update]
+ * family of functions may be used for one-off updates. All functions have asynchronous
+ * variants.
+ * 
+ * When a SPARQL query is executed, a [class`Tracker`.SparqlCursor] will be obtained
+ * to iterate over the query results.
+ * 
+ * Depending on the ontology definition, `TrackerSparqlConnection` may emit
+ * notifications whenever resources of certain types get insert, modified or
+ * deleted from the triple store (see [nrl:notify](nrl-ontology.html#nrl:notify).
+ * These notifications can be handled via a [class`Tracker`.Notifier] obtained with
+ * [method`Tracker`.SparqlConnection.create_notifier].
+ * 
+ * After done with a connection, it is recommended to call [method`Tracker`.SparqlConnection.close]
+ * or [method`Tracker`.SparqlConnection.close_async] explicitly to cleanly close the
+ * connection and prevent consistency checks on future runs. The triple store
+ * connection will be implicitly closed when the `TrackerSparqlConnection` object
+ * is disposed.
+ * 
+ * A `TrackerSparqlConnection` may be used from multiple threads, asynchronous
+ * updates are executed sequentially on arrival order, asynchronous
+ * queries are dispatched in a thread pool.
+ * 
+ * If you ever have the need to procedurally compose SPARQL query strings, consider
+ * the use of [func`Tracker`.sparql_escape_string] for literal strings and
+ * the [func`Tracker`.sparql_escape_uri] family of functions for URIs.
