         * A Query consists or a combination of Terms that can be optionally
         * restricted via a limit (setLimit()) or folder filters (setIncludeFolders() and
         * setExcludeFolders()).
         *
         * Additionally setRequestProperties() allows to retrieve additional information
         * about the results.
         *
         * Queries can be easily converted to SPARQL via the toSparqlQuery() method or to
         * search URLs ready for KIO::DirLister using toSearchUrl().
         *
         * The typical usage of a Query instance would be QueryServiceClient::query().
         * However one can also use toSparqlQuery() to convert it into a SPARQL query
         * string and use that string in QueryServiceClient::sparqlQuery() or even
         * directly in Soprano::Model::executeQuery() via \p ResourceManager::instance()->mainModel()
         * or in a custom Model.
