Attean provides APIs for parsing, storing, querying, and serializing Semantic Web (RDF and SPARQL) data.
get_store( $NAME )
Attempts to find a Attean::API::Store implementation with the given $NAME. This is done using Module::Pluggable and will generally be searching for class names AtteanX::Store::$NAME.
$NAME
AtteanX::Store::$NAME
Returns the full class name if a matching implementation is found, otherwise returns undef.
temporary_model
Returns a temporary, mutable quad model based on a AtteanX::Store::Memory store.
get_serializer( $NAME )
get_serializer( filename => $FILENAME )
get_serializer( media_type => $MEDIA_TYPE )
Attempts to find a Attean::API::Serializer serializer class with the given $NAME, or that can serialize files with the $MEDIA_TYPE media type.
$MEDIA_TYPE
get_parser( $NAME )
get_parser( filename => $FILENAME )
get_parser( media_type => $MEDIA_TYPE )
Attempts to find a Attean::API::Parser parser class with the given $NAME, or that can parse files with the same extension as $FILENAME, or that can parse files with the $MEDIA_TYPE media type.
$FILENAME
negotiate_serializer ( request_headers => $request_headers, restrict => \@serializer_names, extend => \%media_types )
Returns a two-element list containing an appropriate media type and Attean::API::Serializer class as decided by HTTP::Negotiate. If the 'request_headers' key-value is supplied, the $request_headers is passed to HTTP::Negotiate::choose. The option 'restrict', set to a list of serializer names, can be used to limit the serializers to choose from. Finally, an <'extend'> option can be set to a hashref that contains MIME-types as keys and a custom variant as value. This will enable the user to use this negotiator to return a type that isn't supported by any serializers. The subsequent code will have to find out how to return a representation.
'request_headers'
$request_headers
HTTP::Negotiate::choose
'restrict'
<'extend'
acceptable_parsers ( handles => $item_role, prefer => $parser_role )
Returns a string value expressing the media types that are acceptable to the parsers available to the system. This string may be used as an 'Accept' HTTP header value.
If a handles role is supplied, only parsers that produce objects that conform to $item_role will be included.
handles
$item_role
If a prefer role is supplied, only parsers that conform to $parser_role will be included.
prefer
$parser_role
Parsers are given a quality-value (expressing a preferred order or use) based on the roles each parser consumes. Parsers consuming Attean::API::PullParser are preferred, while those consuming Attean::API::AtOnceParser are not preferred. An exact ordering between parsers consuming similar roles is currently undefined.
register_global_function( %uri_to_func )
get_global_function( $uri )
register_global_aggregate( %uri_to_hash )
get_global_aggregate( $uri )
