METHODS

new_from_model( $model, $uri )

Creates a new object from resource $uri in $model.

This loops through all attributes with trait MooseX::Semantic::Meta::Attribute::Trait and searches $model for all statements about $uri with the attribute's uri or any of the uri_reader attributes as property. For every match, the appropriate key in the instantiation hash is set to the value found.

When the object of a statement represents a resource ... TODO

When all attributes have been walked, the class is instantiated with the instantiation hash and the newly-created object is returned.

get_instance_hash

Creates a hash of attribute/value pairs that can be passed to $cls->new

new_from_web( $uri )

Retrieves the remote graph $uri using RDF::Trine::Parser's parse_url_into_model method and tries to create a new instance from the statements found.
