SemWeb : SemWeb Namespace
RdfXmlReader Class

Reads RDF statements from an RDF/XML file.

public class RdfXmlReader : RdfReader

Remarks

The RdfXmlReader streams the statements to the StatementSink as they are read from the XML stream. The entire XML document will not be loaded into memory.

The following example reads a RDF/XML file from disk:

C# Example
using (RdfReader data = new RdfXmlReader("filename.rdf")) {
    store.Import(data);
}  

It is strongly recommended that you use one of the constructors that takes a Base URI argument, or else set the Base URI of the reader before reading statements from it, so that relative URIs found in the document can be interpreted. If a BaseURI has not been set and a relative URI is encountered, parsing the document will fail.

The stream is begun to be read as soon as the constructor is called. Any namespace declarations found on the document element of the RDF/XML document will be available in the RdfXmlReader.Namespaces property once the constructor returns. Once the document is fully read, all namespace declarations in the document are available in the RdfReader.Namespaces property and can be copied into the namespace manager of a SemWeb.RdfWriter using the NamespaceManager.AddFrom(NamespaceManager) method.
