=head1 NAME

RDF::Trine - An RDF Framework for Perl

=head1 VERSION

This document describes RDF::Trine version 1.007

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use RDF::Trine;
  
  my $store = RDF::Trine::Store::Memory->new();
  my $model = RDF::Trine::Model->new($store);
  
  # parse some web data into the model, and print the count of resulting RDF statements
  RDF::Trine::Parser->parse_url_into_model( 'http://kasei.us/about/foaf.xrdf', $model );
  print $model->size . " RDF statements parsed\n";
  
  # Create a namespace object for the foaf vocabulary
  my $foaf = RDF::Trine::Namespace->new( 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/' );
  
  # Create a node object for the FOAF name property
  my $pred = $foaf->name;
  # alternatively:
  # my $pred = RDF::Trine::Node::Resource->new('http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name');
  
  # Create an iterator for all the statements in the model with foaf:name as the predicate
  my $iter = $model->get_statements(undef, $pred, undef);
  
  # Now print the results
  print "Names of things:\n";
  while (my $st = $iter->next) {
    my $s = $st->subject;
    my $name = $st->object;
    
    # $s and $name have string overloading, so will print correctly
    print "The name of $s is $name\n";
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

RDF::Trine provides an Resource Descriptive Framework (RDF) with an emphasis on
extensibility, API stability, and the presence of a test suite. The package
consists of several components:

=over 4

=item * RDF::Trine::Model - RDF model providing access to a triple store. This module would typically be used to access an existing store by a developer looking to "Just get stuff done."

=item * RDF::Trine::Parser - RDF parsers for various serialization formats including RDF/XML, Turtle, RDFa, and RDF/JSON.

=item * RDF::Trine::Store::Memory - An in-memory, non-persistant triple store. Typically used for temporary data.

=item * RDF::Trine::Store::DBI - A triple store for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite, based on the relational schema used by Redland. Typically used to for large, persistent data.

=item * RDF::Trine::Iterator - Iterator classes for variable bindings and RDF statements, used by RDF::Trine::Store, RDF::Trine::Model, and RDF::Query.

=item * RDF::Trine::Namespace - A convenience class for easily constructing RDF::Trine::Node::Resource objects from URI namespaces.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=item C<< iri ( $iri ) >>

Returns a RDF::Trine::Node::Resource object with the given IRI value.

=cut

sub iri {
	my $iri	= shift;
	return RDF::Trine::Node::Resource->new( $iri );
}

=item C<< blank ( $id ) >>

Returns a RDF::Trine::Node::Blank object with the given identifier.

=cut

sub blank {
	my $id	= shift;
	return RDF::Trine::Node::Blank->new( $id );
}

=item C<< literal ( $value, $lang, $dt ) >>

Returns a RDF::Trine::Node::Literal object with the given value and optional
language/datatype.

=cut

sub literal {
	return RDF::Trine::Node::Literal->new( @_ );
}

=item C<< variable ( $name ) >>

Returns a RDF::Trine::Node::Variable object with the given variable name.

=cut

sub variable {
	my $name	= shift;
	return RDF::Trine::Node::Variable->new( $name );
}

=item C<< statement ( @nodes ) >>

Returns a RDF::Trine::Statement object with the supplied node objects.

=cut

sub statement {
	my @nodes	= @_;
	if (scalar(@nodes) == 4) {
		return RDF::Trine::Statement::Quad->new( @nodes );
	} else {
		return RDF::Trine::Statement->new( @nodes );
	}
}

=item C<< store ( $config ) >>

Returns a RDF::Trine::Store object based on the supplied configuration string.
See L<RDF::Trine::Store> for more information on store configuration strings.

=cut

sub store {
	my $config	= shift;
	return RDF::Trine::Store->new_with_string( $config );
}

=item C<< default_useragent ( [ $ua ] ) >>

Returns the L<LWP::UserAgent> object used by default for any operation requiring network
requests. Ordinarily, the calling code will obtain the default user agent, and clone it
before further configuring it for a specific request, thus leaving the default object
untouched.

If C<< $ua >> is passed as an argument, sets the global default user agent to this object.

=cut

{ my $_useragent;
sub default_useragent {
	my $class	= shift;
	my $ua		= shift || $_useragent;
	unless (defined($ua)) {
		$ua	= LWP::UserAgent->new( agent => "RDF::Trine/$RDF::Trine::VERSION" );
	}
	$_useragent	= $ua;
	return $ua;
}}
