NAME

Data::DublinCore - DublinCore meta-data access

INHERITANCE

Data::DublinCore
  is a XML::Compile::Cache
  is a XML::Compile::Schema
  is a XML::Compile

SYNOPSIS

my $dc = Data::DublinCore->new(version => '20080211');
my $xml  = $dc->writer($sometype)->($doc, $perldata);

my ($type, $data) = $dc->from('data.xml');
my ($type, $data) = Data::DublinCore->from('data.xml');
print "Root type: $type\n";
print Dumper $data;    # from Data::Dumper

DESCRIPTION

This module provides access to the DublinCore metadata specification, see http://dublincore.org.

Actually, the dublin-core spec is rather empty: applications need to define the content of the supplied containers themselves. When this content is RDF defined, it seems not to follow the rules of schema's at all. And for other applications I do not know. So... the best thing this module can do is call XML::LibXML::Simple. In the future, however, this may improve.

$obj->from($xmldata, %options)

Read an XML message, in any format supported by XML::Compile method dataToXML(): string, file, filehandle, and more. Returned is a list of two: the type of the top-level element plus the data-structure.

When the method is called as class method, then a temporary instance is created. Creating an instance is (very) slow: reuse is advised.

my $dc            = Data::DublinCore->new;
my ($type, $data) = $dc->from('data.xml');

or

my ($type, $data) = Data::DublinCore->from('data.xml');

Passed in the reader to XML::Compile::Schema::compile(any_type). Each contained data element which is complex gets passed into XML::LibXML::Simple subroutine XMLin. This provides easy access to for instance rdf data which is stored in there.
