RDF::Trine::NamespaceMap - Collection of Namespaces

VERSION

This document describes RDF::Trine::NamespaceMap version 0.135

SYNOPSIS

    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');

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an object to manage multiple namespaces for creating RDF::Trine::Node::Resource objects and for serializing.

METHODS

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.
uri ( $prefixed_name ): Returns a URI (as RDF::Trine::Node::Resource) for an abbreviated string such as 'foaf:Person'.

WARNING

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.
