SYNOPSIS

 use Net::Flickr::RDF;

 use IO::AtomicFile;

 my $cfg = Config::Simple->new("/path/to/my.cfg");
 my $rdf = Net::Flickr::RDF->new($cfg);

 my $fh  = IO::AtomicFile->open("/foo/bar.rdf","w");

 $rdf->describe_photo({photo_id => 123,
                       secret   => 567,
                       fh       => \*$fh});

 $fh->close();

$obj->uri_shortform($prefix,$name)

Returns a string in the form of prefix:property. The property is the value of $name. The prefix passed may or may be the same as the prefix returned depending on whether or not the user has defined or redefined their own list of namespaces.

Unless this package is subclassed the prefix passed to the method is assumed to be one of prefixes in the default list of namespaces.

Otherwise it will return a XML::LibXML::Document object (if XML::LibXML is installed) or a XML::XPath object.

$obj->log()

Returns a Log::Dispatch object.

$obj->serialise_triples(\@triples,\*$fh)
