✨ NAME ✨

RDF::SN — short names for URIs, with prefixes straight from prefix.cc 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use RDF::SN;
$abbrev = RDF::SN->new('20230619');
$abbrev->qname('http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#type'); # rdfs:type

like. look at that. one line and your URI is tiny. no cap. 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so this module is literally here to help you abbreviate URIs into short names — aka qualified names, which is the fancy way of saying it. and the way that it's the counterpart of RDF::NS? iconic. 🫶

🧚 new( [ $ns ] )

creates a lookup hash from a mapping hash of namespace URIs to prefixes (that's the RDF::NS situation). and here's the tea on which prefix wins:

• if multiple prefixes exist, the shortest one gets used 🏆
• if multiple prefixes with the same length exist, the first in alphabetical order gets used 📚

🦋 qname( $uri )

returns a prefix and a local name if the URI can be abbreviated with the given namespaces:

• in list context, you get them as a list ✨
• in scalar context, they come concatenated by ":" 💫

periodt. that's the whole function. 💖
