NAME

RDF::TrineX::Parser::Pretdsl - the Perl RDF Extended Turtle Domain-Specific Language

DESCRIPTION

Pretdsl is a domain-specific language for describing Perl projects (in particular CPAN releases) in RDF triples. It can be seen as an enhanced version of Turtle/N3, or an application of ShorthandRDF.

About Pretdsl

Pretdsl is Notation 3, plus...

Predefined prefixes

The following prefixes are pre-declared (though you can explicitly declare them, or redeclare them to be something else if you prefer...)

Predefined terms

Like how Turtle defines "a" as a term that expands to rdf:type, Pretdsl defines some terms:


            

              
              
# Generally useful predicates
@term label    rdfs:label .
@term comment  rdfs:comment .
@term seealso  rdfs:seeAlso .
# Makefile predicates
@term abstract_from          cpant:abstract_from .
@term author_from            cpant:author_from .
@term license_from           cpant:license_from .
@term requires_from          cpant:requires_from .
@term perl_version_from      cpant:perl_version_from .
@term version_from           cpant:version_from .

# Changelog predicates

@term changeset  dcs:changeset .
@term item       dcs:item .
@term versus     dcs:versus .
# Changelog datatypes
@term Addition            pretdsl-dt:Addition .

@term Bugfix              pretdsl-dt:Bugfix .
@term Change              pretdsl-dt:Change .

XSD datatype shorthands

Like how Turtle has shorthands for literals of type xsd:integer, xsd:double and xsd:boolean, such that they don't need quoting or an explicit datatype, Pretdsl defines shorthands for xsd:date and xsd:dateTime.

For xsd:date, just use YYYY-MM-DD format. For xsd:dateTime, use YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sss+zzzz (seconds must be included, but fractions of seconds are optional; timezones are optional, and 'Z' is supported for UTC).

Perl-specific datatype shorthands

Pretdsl defines a special quoting style for Perl-specific resources. A quoted resource starts and ends with a backtick (`). The first backtick may also be preceded by a single letter which is used for disambiguation.

Distributions:


            

              
              
`HTML-HTML5-Parser`
d`HTML-HTML5-Parser`

Releases:


            

              
              
`HTML-HTML5-Parser 0.200`
`HTML-HTML5-Parser 0.200 cpan:TOBYINK`
r`HTML-HTML5-Parser 0.200`
r`HTML-HTML5-Parser 0.200 cpan:TOBYINK`

Files:


            

              
              
`./README`      # needs to contain a slash to disambiguate
`xt/test.pod`   # with distributions
f`README`       # or use explicit disambiguating letter
# Files may be qualified with a release...
f`README HTML-HTML5-Parser 0.200 cpan:TOBYINK`

Modules:


            

              
              
`HTML::HTML5::Parser`
# The following are semantically identical
m`HTML::HTML5::Parser`
f`lib/HTML/HTML5/Parser.pm`
# And so this is fine too...
m`HTML::HTML5::Parser HTML-HTML5-Parser 0.200 cpan:TOBYINK`
# Trailing "::" can disambiguate
`JSON::`

Packages:


            

              
              
# Always need the disambiguation letter to avoid confusion
# with modules
p`HTML::HTML5::Parser`

The line between packages and modules is a little blurred. Future versions of Pretdsl may also provide datatype shorthands for classes and roles (in the Moose/Mouse sense).

CPAN IDs:


            

              
              
# It looks like a qname, but it's not. It's a case-insensitive
# literal shorthand
cpan:TOBYINK
cpan:tobyink

RT Bugs:


            

              
              
# No the hash below doesn't start a comment.
RT#12345

The Switch-a-Roo

All the Perl-specific datatypes, plus the changelog datatypes mentioned above are intercepted during the parse, and being added to the model as literals, they are replaced with blank nodes and URIs, and enriched with additional triples.

So the following Pretdsl which appears to have a literal subject:


            

              
              
`Example-Distribution 0.001 cpan:TOBYINK`
    issued 2012-06-18 .

May be equivalent to the following Turtle:


            

              
              
<http://purl.org/NET/cpan-uri/dist/Example-Distribution/v_0-001>
    a doap:Version ;
    dcterms:identifier "Example-Distribution-0.001"^^xsd:string ;
    doap:revision "0.001"^^xsd:string ;
    dcs:released-by cpan:tobyink ;
    doap:file-release <http://backpan.cpan.org/authors/id/T/TO/TOBYINK/Example-Distribution-0.001.tar.gz> ;
    dcterms:issued "2012-06-18"^^xsd:date .
<http://purl.org/NET/cpan-uri/dist/Example-Distribution/project>
    doap:release <http://purl.org/NET/cpan-uri/dist/Example-Distribution/v_0-001> .

About the Parser

The parser provides the same API as RDF::Trine::Parser::Notation3.
