NAME

FAIR::Profile::Parser - Parser that reads FAIR Profile RDF and creates a FAIR::Profile object

VERSION

version 0.20

SYNOPSIS

use FAIR::Profile::Parser;

my $parser = FAIR::Profile::Parser->new(filename => "./ProfileSchema.rdf");
my $DatasetSchema = $parser->parse;

my $schema =  $DatasetSchema->serialize;
open(OUT, ">ProfileSchema2.rdf")
print OUT $schema;
close OUT;

DESCRIPTION

FAIR Profiles describe the metadata elements, and constrained values, that should be associated with a given information entity. They ARE NOT containers for this metadata, they only describe what that metadata should look like (meta-meta-data :-) )

This module will parse an RDF file containing a FAIR Profile into objects that can be used to construct a metadata capture interface. The objects will tell you what fields are required/optional, and what possible values they are allowed to contain.
