# RDF::DOAP::ChangeSets(3pm)

create pretty ChangeLogs from RDF

## NAME

RDF::DOAP::ChangeSets - create pretty ChangeLogs from RDF

## SYNOPSIS

```
 use RDF::DOAP::ChangeSets;
 use URI::file;

 my $file     = 'path/to/changelog.rdf';
 my $file_uri = URI::file->new_abs($file);

 my $dcs = RDF::DOAP::ChangeSets->new(
             $file_uri, undef, undef, 'RDFXML');
 print $dcs->to_string;
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module takes software changelogs written in the RDF DOAP Change Sets vocabulary and produces human-readable changelogs.

- "RDF::DOAP::ChangeSets-\>new($uri, $data, $type, $fmt)"

  Creates and initialises an object.

  `$uri` is a URL for the input data. The URL is used to query the RDF data for the heading of the output changelog. It may be passed as either a string, or a URI object.

  `$data` is the RDF data to use as input. It may be passed as a string, or as an RDF::Trine::Model object. If undefined, this module will attempt to read data from the URL using LWP::Simple.

  `$type` gives the constructor a hint as to the RDF vocabulary you are using. For DOAP Change Sets, use 'current'; for Aaron Cope's Changefile vocab, use 'legacy'; to autodetect, use 'auto'. By default, performs autodetection. This module may crash and burn if you try to mix both vocabs!!

  `$fmt` provides a hint as to what RDF format you're using. By default, Turtle is assumed. Valid values are whatever RDF::Trine::Parser-\>new accepts.

- "$changeset-\>is\_legacy"

  Boolean, indicating if a legacy vocab is being used.

- "$changeset-\>is\_current"

  Boolean, indicating if the current vocab is being used.

- "$changeset-\>model"

  RDF::Trine::Model object representing the changelog data.

- "$changeset-\>uri"

  String representing the changelog URI.

- "$changeset-\>to\_string"

  Creates a human-readable representation of the changelog.

- "$changeset-\>to\_file($filename)"

  Same as `"to_string"`, but outputs to a file.
