RDF::Trine::NamespaceMap(3) Collection of Namespaces

VERSION

This document describes RDF::Trine::NamespaceMap version 1.014

SYNOPSIS


use RDF::Trine::NamespaceMap;
my $map = RDF::Trine::NamespaceMap->new( \%namespaces );
$serializer->serialize_model_to_string( $model, namespaces => $map );
$map->add_mapping( foaf => 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/' );
my $foaf_namespace = $map->foaf;
my $foaf_person = $map->foaf('Person');

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an object to manage multiple namespaces for creating RDF::Trine::Node::Resource objects and for serializing.

METHODS

"new ( [ \%namespaces ] )"
Returns a new namespace map object. You can pass a hash reference with mappings from local names to namespace URIs (given as string or RDF::Trine::Node::Resource).
"add_mapping ( $name => $uri )"
Adds a new namespace to the map. The namespace URI can be passed as string or some object, that provides an uri_value method.
"remove_mapping ( $name )"
Removes a namespace from the map.
"namespace_uri ( $name )"
Returns the namespace object (if any) associated with the given name.
"list_namespaces"
Returns an array of RDF::Trine::Namespace objects with all the namespaces.
"list_prefixes"
Returns an array of prefixes.
"uri ( $prefixed_name )"
Returns a URI (as RDF::Trine::Node::Resource) for an abbreviated string such as 'foaf:Person'.
prefix_for "uri ($uri)"
Returns the associated prefix (or potentially multiple prefixes, in list context) for the given URI.
abbreviate "uri ($uri)"
Complement to ``namespace_uri''. Returns the given URI in "foo:bar" format or "undef" if it wasn't matched, therefore the idiom

    my $str = $nsmap->abbreviate($uri_node) || $uri_node->uri_value;

may be useful for certain serialization tasks.

WARNING

Avoid using the names 'can', 'isa', 'VERSION', and 'DOES' as namespace prefix, because these names are defined as method for every Perl object by default. The method names 'new' and 'uri' are also forbidden.
