NAME

RDF::Core::Parser - RDF Parser

DESCRIPTION

A module for parsing XML documents containing RDF data. It's based on XML::Parser. Parser goes through XML and calls what is referenced in Assert option for each statement found.

SYNOPSIS

require RDF::Core::Parser;

my %options = (Assert => \&handleAssert,
               BaseURI => "http://www.foo.com/",
              );
my $parser = new RDF::Core::Parser(%options);
$parser->parseFile('./rdfFile.xml');
#or
$parser->parse($rdfString);

Interface

• new(%options)

  Available options are

  • Assert

    A reference to a subroutine, that is called for every assertion that parser generates.

  • BaseURI

    A base URI of parsed document. It will be used to resolve relative URI references.

  • InlineURI

    Inline URI is used to generate URIs for anonymous (inline) resources.

• parse($string)

• parseFile($fileName)

Assert handler

Assert handler is called with key value pairs in a parameters array.

Keys are:

• subject_ns, subject_name, subject_uri

  namespace, local value and URI of subject

• predicate_ns, predicate_name, predicate_uri

  namespace, local value and URI of predicate

• object_ns, object_name, object_uri

  namespace, local value and URI of object, if the object is a resource

  or

• object_literal

  object value for literal
