NAME

       RDF::TriN3 - notation 3 extensions for RDF::Trine

DESCRIPTION

       This module extends RDF::Trine in three ways:

       •   Adds a Notation 3 parser.

       •   Adds a Notation 3 serializer.

       •   Provides a subclass of literals to represent Notation 3 formulae.

       In addition, a parser is provided for Notation 3 extended with ShorthandRDF notation -
       <http://esw.w3.org/ShorthandRDF>.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

       Implementing N3 logic and the cwm built-ins is considered outside the scope of this
       distribution, though I am interested in doing that as part of a separate project.

       RDF::TriN3 currently relies entirely on RDF::Trine to provide implementations of the
       concept of graphs, and storage. Thus any graphs that can't be represented using RDF::Trine
       can't be represented in RDF::TriN3. RDF::Trine's graph model is a superset of RDF, but a
       subset of Notation 3's model. While this allows literal subjects, and literal and blank
       node predicates, these may not be supported by all storage engines; additionally top-level
       variables (?foo), and top-level @forSome and @forAll (i.e. not nested inside a formula)
       might cause problems.

       RDF::Trine::Store::DBI has some issues with literal subjects, and literal and blank node
       predicates, allowing them to be stored, but not retrieved. From version 0.128,
       RDF::Trine::Store::DBI offers a "clear_restrictions" method that should resolve these
       issues. RDF::Trine::Store::Memory is fine. Other stores are not tested.

       Please report any bugs to <http://rt.cpan.org/>.
