RDF::Trine::NamespaceMap - Collection of Namespaces
This document describes RDF::Trine::NamespaceMap version 1.019
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');
This module provides an object to manage multiple namespaces for creating
RDF::Trine::Node::Resource objects and for serializing.
- "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.
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.
