NAME

       RDF::LinkedData - A Linked Data server implementation

VERSION

       Version 0.74

SYNOPSIS

       For just setting this up and get it to run, you would just use the "linked_data.psgi"
       script in this distribution. The usage of that is documented in
       Plack::App::RDF::LinkedData, with the README is a quick start guide. If you want to try
       and use this directly, you'd do stuff like:

               my $ld = RDF::LinkedData->new(store => $config->{store},
                                        endpoint_config => $config->{endpoint},
                                        base_uri => $config->{base_uri}
                                       );
               $ld->namespaces($config->{namespaces}) if ($config->{namespaces});
               $ld->request($req);
               return $ld->response($uri)->finalize;

       See Plack::App::RDF::LinkedData for a complete example.

DESCRIPTION

       This module is used to create a Linked Data server that can serve RDF data out of an
       RDF::Trine::Model. It will look up URIs in the model and do the right thing (known as the
       303 dance) and mint URLs for that, as well as content negotiation. Thus, you can
       concentrate on URIs for your things, you need not be concerned about minting URLs for the
       pages to serve it. In addition, optional modules can provide other important
       functionalities: Cross-origin resource sharing, VoID description, cache headers, SPARQL
       Endpoint, Triple Pattern Fragments, etc. As such, it encompasses a fair share of Semantic
       Web best practices, but possibly not in a very flexible Big Data manner.

METHODS

       "new ( store => $store, model => $model, base_uri => $base_uri, hypermedia => 1,
       namespaces_as_vocabularies => 1, request => $request, endpoint_config => $endpoint_config,
       void_config => $void_config )"
           Creates a new handler object based on named parameters, given a store config
           (recommended usage is to pass a hashref of the type that can be passed to
           RDF::Trine::Store->new_with_config, but a simple string can also be used) or model and
           a base URI. Optionally, you may pass a Plack::Request object (must be passed before
           you call "content") and an "endpoint_config" hashref if you want to have a SPARQL
           Endpoint running using the recommended module RDF::Endpoint.

           This module can also provide additional triples to turn the response into a hypermedia
           type. If you don't want this, set the "hypermedia" argument to false. Currently this
           entails setting the SPARQL endpoint and vocabularies used using the VoID vocabulary
           <http://vocab.deri.ie/void>.

           Finally, it can provide experimental Triple Pattern Fragments <http://www.hydra-
           cg.com/spec/latest/triple-pattern-fragments/> support.

       "BUILD"
           Called by Moo to initialize an object.

       "BUILDARGS"
           Called by Moo to ensure that some attributes can be left unset.

       "model"
           Returns the RDF::Trine::Model object.

       "base_uri"
           Returns or sets the base URI for this handler.

       "request ( [ $request ] )"
           Returns the Plack::Request object if it exists or sets it if a Plack::Request object
           is given as parameter.

       "current_etag"
           Returns the current Etag of the model suitable for use in a HTTP header. This is a
           read-only attribute.

       "last_etag", "has_last_etag"
           Returns or sets the last Etag of so that changes to the model can be detected.

       namespaces ( { skos => 'http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#', dct =>
       'http://purl.org/dc/terms/' } )
           Gets or sets the namespaces that some serializers use for pretty-printing.

       "response ( $uri )"
           Will look up what to do with the given URI object and populate the response object.

       "helper_properties (  )"
           Returns the RDF::Helper::Properties object if it exists or sets it if a
           RDF::Helper::Properties object is given as parameter.

       "type"
           Returns or sets the type of result to return, i.e. "page", in the case of a human-
           intended page or "data" for machine consumption, or an empty string if it is an actual
           resource URI that should be redirected.

       "my_node"
           A node for the requested URI. This node is typically used as the subject to find which
           statements to return as data. This expects to get a URI object containing the full URI
           of the node.

       "count ( $node)"
           Returns the number of statements that has the $node as subject, or all if $node is
           undef.

       "endpoint ( [ $endpoint ] )"
           Returns the RDF::Endpoint object if it exists or sets it if a RDF::Endpoint object is
           given as parameter. In most cases, it will be created for you if you pass a
           "endpoint_config" hashref to the constructor, so you would most likely not use this
           method.

       "void ( [ $voidg ] )"
           Returns the RDF::Generator::Void object if it exists or sets it if a
           RDF::Generator::Void object is given as parameter. Like "endpoint", it will be created
           for you if you pass a "void_config" hashref to the constructor, so you would most
           likely not use this method.

TODO

       •   Use IO::Handle streams when they become available from the serializers.

       •   Figure out what needs to be done to use this code in other frameworks, such as Magpie.

       •   Make it read-write hypermedia.

       •   Make the result graph configurable.
