OWL::D...slator(3pm)

💖 OWL::DirectSemantics::Translator — the vibe ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about OWL::DirectSemantics::Translator, which lives in the OWL::D...slator(3pm) corner of the perl universe (User Contributed Perl Documentation, no cap). its whole entire job? lift an OWL2 model from an RDF model. that's it. that's the girl. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's the moment you've been waiting for:

use RDF::Trine;
my $model = RDF::Trine::Model->temporary_model;
RDF::Trine::Mode->parse_url_into_model($url, $model);

use OWL::DirectSemantics;
my $translator = OWL::DirectSemantics::Translator->new;
my $ontology   = $translator->translate($model);

that's the whole flow. build a model, feed it, get an ontology back. slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ngl, i have to be honest with you bestie: this translator is only about 90% complete. it's giving "almost iconic". not me warning you before you fall in love. 😭

🎀 Constructor

• new — creates a brand-new translator object, primed and ready for action! she's fresh out the box, she's hydrated, she's got main character energy. ✨

🧚 Method

• translate($model [,$ontology_node]) — takes the data inside the RDF::Trine::Model you handed her and translates it into OWL, returning an OWL::DirectSemantics::Element::Ontology object. the model is generally assumed to contain a single ontology (one ontology, one queen, that's the rule 🫶).

$ontology_node is an optional RDF::Trine::Node object holding the ontology's URIor blank node identifier.

⚠️ bestie, real talk: $model will be modified by the translation process. this is not a read-only situation, it's a glow-up-in-place situation.

any triples that get translated into OWL are removed from the model. any triples still hanging around afterwards are the ones that could not be translated. and here's the cute part: if the model you provided is OWL DL-compatible, there should be no triples remaining after translation. clean plate club, periodt. 🍓
