In Perl code:

    use Catmandu::Importer::RDF;
    my $url = "http://dx.doi.org/10.2474/trol.7.147";
    my $rdf = Catmandu::Importer::RDF->new( url => $url )->first;

DESCRIPTION

This Catmandu::Importer can be use to import RDF data from URLs, files or input streams, SPARQL endpoints, and Linked Data Fragment endpoints.

By default an RDF graph is imported as single item in aREF format (see RDF::aREF).

CONFIGURATION

url

URL to retrieve RDF from.

type

RDF serialization type (e.g. "ttl" for RDF/Turtle).

base

Base URL. By default derived from the URL or file name.

ns

Use default namespace prefixes as provided by RDF::NS to abbreviate predicate and datatype URIs. Set to 0 to disable abbreviating URIs. Set to a specific date to get stable namespace prefix mappings.

triples

Import each RDF triple as one aREF subject map (default) or predicate map (option "predicate_map"), if enabled.

predicate_map

Import RDF as aREF predicate map, if possible.

file

fh

encoding

fix

Default configuration options of Catmandu::Importer.

sparql

The SPARQL query to be executed on the URL endpoint (currectly only SELECT is supported). The query can be supplied as string or as filename. The importer tries to automatically add missing PREFIX statements from the default namespace prefixes.

sparql_result

Encoding of SPARQL result values. With "aref", query results are encoded in aREF format, with URIs in "<" and ">" (no qNames) and literal nodes appended by "@" and optional language code. By default (value "simple"), all RDF nodes are simplfied to their literal form.

METHODS

See Catmandu::Importer.
