DESCRIPTION

aREF (another RDF Encoding Form <http://gbv.github.io/aREF/>) is an encoding of RDF graphs in form of arrays, hashes, and Unicode strings. This module provides methods for decoding from aREF data to RDF triples (RDF::aREF::Decoder), for encoding RDF data in aREF (RDF::aREF::Encoder), and for querying parts of an RDF graph (RDF::aREF::Query).

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

The following functions are exported by default.

decode_aref $aref [, %options ]

Decodes an aREF document given as hash reference with RDF::aREF::Decoder. Equivalent to "RDF::aREF::Decoder->new(%options)->decode($aref)".

encode_aref $graph [, %options ]

Construct an aREF subject mapfrom an RDF graph. The RDF::aREF::Encoder for possible options. The $graph can be supplied as:

instance of RDF::Trine::Model
instance of RDF::Trine::Model::Iterator
an URL or a filename (only if RDF::Trine is installed)
instance of Attean::API::TripleIterator (experimental)
instance of Attean::API::TripleStore (experimental)
hash reference with RDF/JSON <http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-json/> format (as returned by method "as_hashref" in RDF::Trine::Model)

aref_query $graph, [ $origin ], @queries

Query parts of an aREF data structure by aREF query expressions <http://gbv.github.io/aREF/aREF.html#aref-query> and return a list. See RDF::aREF::Query for details.

aref_query_map( $graph, [ $origin ], $query_map )

Map parts of an aREF data structure to a flat key-value structure.
