NAME

RDF::Simple::Parser

DESCRIPTION

A simple RDF/XML parser - reads a string containing RDF in XML returns a 'bucket-o-triples' (array of arrays)

SYNOPSIS

my $uri = 'http://www.zooleika.org.uk/bio/foaf.rdf';
my $rdf = LWP::Simple::get($uri);
my $parser = RDF::Simple::Parser->new(base => $uri)
my @triples = $parser->parse_rdf($rdf);

# returns an array of array references which are triples

METHODS

new( [ base => 'http://example.com/foo.rdf' ])

Create a new RDF::Simple::Parser

'base' supplies a base URI for relative URIs found in the document

'http_proxy' optionally supplies the address of an http proxy server. If this is not given it will try to use the default environment settings.

parse_rdf($rdf)

Accepts a string which is an RDF/XML document (complete XML, with headers)

Returns an array of array references which are RDF triples.

parse_uri($uri)

Accepts a string which is a fully qualified http:// uri at which some valid RDF lives. returns the same thing as parse_rdf

NOTES

This parser is a transliteration of Sean B Palmer's python RDF/XML parser:

http://www.infomesh.net/2003/rdfparser/

Thus the idioms inside are a bit pythonic. Most credit for the effort is due to sbp.
