		'''
		Method to update resources in repository.  Firing this method computes the difference in the local modified graph and the original one,
		creates an instance of SparqlUpdate and builds a sparql query that represents these differences, and sends this as a PATCH request.

		Note: send PATCH request, regardless of RDF or NonRDF, to [uri]/fcr:metadata

		If the resource is NonRDF (Binary), this also method also updates the binary data.

		Args:
			sparql_query_only (bool): If True, returns only the sparql query string and does not perform any actual updates
			auto_refresh (bool): If True, refreshes resource after update. If left None, defaults to repo.default_auto_refresh
			update_binary (bool): If True, and resource is NonRDF, updates binary data as well
