=head1 NAME
SIOC -- The SIOC Core Ontology
=head1 VERSION
This documentation refers to SIOC version 1.0.0.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
This is an abstract class that isn't meant to be instantiated.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The SIOC (Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities) Core Ontology provides
the main concepts and properties required to describe information from online
communities (e.g., message boards, wikis, weblogs, etc.) on the Semantic Web.
This distribution implements the various SIOC subclasses like SIOC::Site,
SIOC::User, SIOC::Forum or SIOC::Post. It also contains an exporter class
(SIOC::Exporter) that Perl-based community software can use to generate a
semantic RDF representation of its data.
This class implements an abstract base class for the various SIOC subclasses
like
=over
=item *
SIOC::Site
=item *
SIOC::User
=item *
SIOC::Forum
=back
(See the module's distribution for a complete list of modules.)
The SIOC::Exporter module implements a class that can be used to export
SIOC information as RDF data.
=head1 CLASS ATTRIBUTES
=over
=item id
An identifier of a SIOC concept instance. For example, a user ID.
Must be unique for instances of each type of SIOC concept within the same
site.
This attribute is required and must be set in the creation of a class instance
with new().
=item name
The name of a SIOC instance, e.g. a username for a User, group
name for a Usergroup, etc.
This attribute is required and must be set in the creation of a class instance
with new().
=item url
The URL of this resource on the Web.
This attribute is required and must be set in the creation of a class instance
with new().
=item description
A textual description of the resource.
=item comment
A comment on the SIOC instance.
=item topics
Topics the resource is connected to.
=item feeds
Feeds (e.g., RSS, Atom, etc.) pertaining to this resource (e.g.,
for a Forum, Site, User, etc.).
=item links
URIs of documents which contain this SIOC object.
=back
=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS
=head2 new(\%args)
Creates a new class instance. Arguments are passed as a hash reference. See
the ATTRIBUTES section above for required arguments.
=head2 id([$new_id])
Accessor for the attribute of the same name. Call without argument to read the
current value of the attribute; sets attribute when called with new value as
argument.
=head2 name([$new_name])
Accessor for the attribute of the same name. Call without argument to read the
current value of the attribute; sets attribute when called with new value as
argument.
=head2 url([$newurl])
Accessor for the attribute of the same name. Call without argument to read the
current value of the attribute; sets attribute when called with new value as
argument.
=head2 description([$newdescription])
Accessor for the attribute of the same name. Call without argument to read the
current value of the attribute; sets attribute when called with new value as
argument.
=head2 comment([$comment])
Accessor for the attribute of the same name. Call without argument to read the
current value of the attribute; sets attribute when called with new value as
argument.
=head2 add_topic($newtopic)
Adds a new value to the corresponding array attribute.
For $newtopic, a string is expected.
=head2 add_feed($newfeed)
Adds a new value to the corresponding array attribute.
For $newfeed, a string is expected.
=head2 add_link($newlink)
Adds a new value to the corresponding array attribute.
For $newlink, a string is expected.
=head2 type()
Returns a string representation of the SIOC subclass. For an instance of
SIOC::Forum, it returns 'forum', for SIOC::Post 'post' and so on.
=head2 export_rdf()
Returns the object's information in RDF format.
=head2 fill_template
This method is called by export_rdf() to provide template variables needed by
Template Toolkit. Use the set_template_vars method for each variable.
It always returns 1.
=head2 set_template_vars(\%vars)
Set template variables from the key/value pairs of the hash reference passed
as an argument.
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
For diagnostics information, see the SIOC base class.
=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
A full explanation of any configuration system(s) used by the module, including
the names and locations of any configuration files, and the meaning of any
environment variables or properties that can be set. These descriptions must
also include details of any configuration language used.
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
This module depends on the following modules:
=over
=item *
Moose -- OOP framework
=back
=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES
There are no known incompatibilities.
=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
There are no known bugs in this module.
Please report problems via the bug tracking system on the perl-SIOC project
website: L.
Patches are welcome.
