## NAME

RDF::Trine::Namespace - Abbreviated syntax for constructing RDF node objects

## VERSION

This document describes RDF::Trine::Namespace version 1.019

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use RDF::Trine::Namespace qw(rdf);
    my $foaf = RDF::Trine::Namespace->new( 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/' );
    my $pred = $foaf->name;
    my $type = $rdf->type;
    print $pred->as_string; # '[http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name]'
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module provides an abbreviated syntax for creating RDF::Trine::Node objects for URIs sharing common namespaces. The module provides a constructor for creating namespace objects which may be used for constructing Node objects. Calling any method (other than 'import', 'new', 'uri' or 'AUTOLOAD') on the namespace object will return a RDF::Trine::Node object representing the URI of the method name appended to the namespace.

## METHODS

- "uri"

  Returns the URI node object for the namespace, with an optional path argument added to the end of it.

- "uri\_value"

  Returns the URI/IRI value of this namespace.

## DEPENDENCIES

XML::Namespace
