NAME Class::RDF - Perl extension for mapping objects to RDF and back SYNOPSIS use Class::RDF; Class::RDF->set_db( "dbi:mysql:rdf", "user", "pass" ); Class::RDF->define( rdf => "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#", rdfs => "http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#", foaf => "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/", ); # define xml namespace aliases, export some as perl namespaces. Class::RDF::NS->export( 'rdf', 'rdfs', 'foaf' ); my @objects = Class::RDF->parse( xml => $some_rdf_xml ); # eat RDF from the world @objects = Class::RDF->parse( uri => $a_uri_pointing_to_some_rdf_xml ); my $obj = Class::RDF::Object->new( $new_uri ); $obj->rdf::type( foaf->Person ); $obj->foaf::name( "Larry Wall" ); # build our own RDF objects my @people = Class::RDF::Object->search( rdf->type => foaf->Person ); for my $person (@people) { print $person->foaf::OnlineAccount->foaf::nick, "\n"; } my $rdf_xml = Class::RDF->serialize( @people ); DESCRIPTION Class::RDF is a perl object layer over an RDF triplestore. It is based on Class::DBI, the perl object / RDBMS package. Thus it works with mysql, postgresql, sqlite etc. Look in the sql/ directory distributed with this module for database schemas. It provides an 'rdf-y' shortcut syntax for addressing object properties. It also contains a triples-matching RDF API. Class::RDF METHODS define Class::RDF->define('foaf','http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/'); Define an alias for an XML namespace. This needs to be done once per program, and is probably accompanied by a Class::RDF::NS->export('short_name'). This should be superseded by a loaded RDF model of namespaces and aliases which comes with the distribution and lives in the database. parse my @objects = Class::RDF->parse( xml => $some_xml ); my @objects = Class::RDF->parse( uri => $uri_of_some_xml ); Parses the xml either passed in as a string or available at a URI, directly into the triplestore and returns the objects represented by the graph. serialise my $xml = Class::RDF->serialise( @objects ); Take a number of Class::RDF::Object objects, and serialise them as RDF/XML. Class::RDF::Object Class::RDF::Object is the base class for RDF perl objects. It is designed to be subclassed: package Person; use base 'Class::RDF::Object'; Create a Class::RDF::Object derived object, then RDF predicate - object pairs can be set on it with a perlish syntax. RDF resources - that is http:// , mailto: etc URIs, are automatically turned into Class::RDF::Objects when they are requested. To observe them as URIs they have to be referenced as $object->uri->value. RDF literals - ordinary strings - appear as regular properties. my $person = Person->new({foaf->mbox => 'mailto:[email protected]', foaf->nick => 'zool'}); print $person->uri->value; print $person->foaf::nick; print $person->foaf::mbox->uri->value; METHODS new ( [uri], [{ properties}], [context],[ baseuri] ) my $obj = Class::RDF::Object->new({ rdf->type => foaf->Person, foaf->nick => 'zool'}); # creates a stored object with blank node uri my $obj = Class::RDF::Object->new($uri); # creates (or retrieves) a stored object with a uri my $obj = Class::RDF::Object->new($uri,$context_uri); # creates (or retrieves) a stored object with a uri with a context search ( predicate => object ) my @found = $object->search( rdf->type => foaf->Person ); my $found = $object->search( foaf->mbox ); Search for objects with predicate - object matching pairs. Can also supply a predicate without a corresponding object. uri my $uri = $object->uri; print $uri->value; Returns the uri of the object. Class::RDF::Statement Class::RDF also provides the equivalent of a triples-matching API to the RDF store. my @statements = Class::RDF::Statement->search(subject => $uri); my @statements = Class::RDF::Statement->search(predicate => foaf->nick, object => 'zool'); my @statements = Class::RDF::Statement->search(context => $uri); my @triples = map {$_->triples} @statements; # three Class::RDF::Node objects Class::RDF::Node my $node = Class::RDF::Node->new($uri); # create or retrieve my $exists = Class::RDF::Node->find($uri); SEE ALSO Class::DBI(3pm), RDF::Simple(3pm) http://space.frot.org/grout.html - an RDF aggregator built on Class::RDF TODO/BUGS lots!
