Overview

An RDF statement.

Examples:

Creating an RDF statement

s = RDF::URI.new("http://rubygems.org/gems/rdf")
p = RDF::DC.creator
o = RDF::URI.new("http://ar.to/#self")
RDF::Statement.new(s, p, o)

Creating an RDF statement with a context

RDF::Statement.new(s, p, o, :context => uri)

Creating an RDF statement from a Hash

RDF::Statement.new({
  :subject   => RDF::URI.new("http://rubygems.org/gems/rdf"),
  :predicate => RDF::DC.creator,
  :object    => RDF::URI.new("http://ar.to/#self"),
})
