NAME

HTML::Embedded::Turtle - embedding RDF in HTML the crazy way

VERSION

0.01

SYNOPSIS

use HTML::Embedded::Turtle;

my $het = HTML::Embedded::Turtle->new($html, $base_uri);
foreach my $graph ($het->endorsements)
{
  my $model = $het->graph($graph);
  
  # $model is an RDF::Trine::Model. Do something with it.
}

DESCRIPTION

RDF can be embedded in (X)HTML using simple <script> tags. This is described at http://esw.w3.org/N3inHTML. This gives you a file format that can contain multiple (optionally named) graphs. The document as a whole can "endorse" a graph by including:

<link rel="meta" href="#foo" />

Where "#foo" is a fragment identifier pointing to a graph.

<script type="text/turtle" id="foo"> ... </script>

The rel="meta" stuff is parsed using an RDFa parser, so equivalent RDFa works too.

This module parses HTML files containing graphs like these, and allows you to access them each individually; as a union of all graphs on the page; or as a union of just the endorsed graphs.

Despite the module name, this module supports a variety of <script type>s: text/turtle, application/turtle, application/x-turtle text/plain (N-Triples), application/x-rdf+json (RDF/JSON), application/json (RDF/JSON), application/rdf+xml (RDF/XML). Although it doesn't support full N3, it recognises the following as well, but treats them as Turtle: text/n3, text/rdf+n3.

Constructor

$het = HTML::Embedded::Turtle->new($markup, $base_uri, \%opts)

Create a new object. $markup is the HTML or XHTML markup to parse; $base_uri is the base URI to use for relative references.

Options include:

  • markup

    Choose which parser to use: 'html' or 'xml'. The former chooses HTML::HTML5::Parser, which can handle tag soup; the latter chooses XML::LibXML, which cannot. Defaults to 'html'.

  • rdfa_options

    A set of options to be parsed to RDF::RDFa::Parser when looking for endorsements. See RDF::RDFa::Parser::Config. The default is probably sensible.

Public Methods

$het->union_graph

A union graph of all graphs found in the document, as an RDF::Trine::Model. Note that the returned model contains quads.

$het->endorsed_union_graph

A union graph of only the endorsed graphs, as an RDF::Trine::Model. Note that the returned model contains quads.

$het->graph($name)

A single graph from the page.

$het->all_graphs

A hashref where the keys are graph names and the values are RDF::Trine::Models. Some graph names will be URIs, and others may be blank nodes (e.g. "_:foobar").

$het->endorsed_graphs

Like all_graphs, but only returns endorsed graphs. Note that all endorsed graphs will have graph names that are URIs.

$het->endorsements

Returns a list of URIs which are the names of endorsed graphs. Note that the presence of a URI $x in this list does not imply that $het->graph($x) will be defined.
