Introspector/RDF/Laces

The new RDF::Laces module for Perl is designed to allow the statement of RDF triples in Perl using natural perl expressions. For example, here are the first 2 resources from the Dublin Core, in Perl:

$doc ->dc ->title("The Dublin Core Element Set v1.1 namespace providing access to its content by means of an RDF Schema") ->publisher("The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative") ->description("The Dublin Core Element Set v1.1 namespace provides URIs for the Dublin Core Elements v1.1. Entries are declared using RDF Schema language to support RDF applications.") ->language("English") ->source(           $doc->("http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/"),            $doc->("http://dublincore.org/usage/decisions/")) ->dcterms ->issued("1999-07-02") ->modified("2003-03-24") ->isReferencedBy($doc->("http://www.dublincore.org/documents/2001/10/26/dcmi-namespace/")) ->isRequiredBy($doc->("http://purl.org/dc/terms/")) ->isReferencedBy($doc->("http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/")) ->{title} ->rdfs ->label("Title") ->comment("A name given to the resource.") ->isDefinedBy($doc) ->dc ->description("Typically, a Title will be a name by which the resource is formally known.") ->type($doc->("http://dublincore.org/usage/documents/principles/#element")) ->dcterms ->issued("1999-07-02") ->modified("2002-10-04") ->hasVersion($doc->("http://dublincore.org/usage/terms/history/#title-004")) ;

The module currently prints out the ntriples for every statement made. More info will be forthcoming, as I'm planning to put it on CPAN.
