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

write DOAP data quickly and easily

## NAME

RDF::DOAP::Lite - write DOAP data quickly and easily

## SYNOPSIS

```
   use CPAN::Changes;
   use CPAN::Meta;
   use RDF::DOAP::Lite;

   my $changes = CPAN::Changes->load('Changes');
   my $meta    = CPAN::Meta->load_file('META.json');
   my $doap    = RDF::DOAP::Lite->new(meta => $meta, changes => $changes);

   $doap->doap_ttl('doap.ttl');
   $doap->doap_xml('doap.xml');
```

## DESCRIPTION

This is a small companion module to RDF::DOAP, enabling you to output DOAP data easily from standard CPAN distribution files.

### The Straight DOAP

So what is DOAP? This explanation is lifted from Wikipedia \<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOAP\>.

*DOAP (Description of a Project) is an RDF Schema and XML vocabulary* *to describe software projects, in particular free and open source* *software.*

*It was created and initially developed by Edd Dumbill to convey* *semantic information associated with open source software projects.*

*It is currently used in the Mozilla Foundation's project page and* *in several other software repositories, notably the Python Package* *Index.*

### Constructor

- new(%attributes)

  Moose-style constructor (though this module does not use Moose).

### Attributes

- "meta"

  This is a required attribute; a CPAN::Meta object.

- "changes"

  This is an optional attribute; a CPAN::Changes object.

### Methods

- doap\_ttl($file)

  Writes DOAP data in the Turtle serialization to the file. The file may be provided as a filename (string) or a file handle.

- doap\_xml($file)

  Writes DOAP data in the RDF/XML serialization to the file. The file may be provided as a filename (string) or a file handle.

## BUGS

Please report any bugs to \<http://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=RDF-DOAP-Lite\>.

## SEE ALSO

This module comes with a bundled command-line tool, cpan2doap.

For parsing DOAP data, see RDF::DOAP.

For general RDF processing, use RDF::Trine and RDF::Query.
