.SH "NAME"
Module::Install::DOAPChangeSets \- write your distribution change log in RDF
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This package allows you to write your Changes file in Turtle or \s-1RDF/XML\s0 and
autogenerate a human-readable text file.
.PP
To do this, create an \s-1RDF\s0 file called \*(L"meta/changes.ttl\*(R" (or something like that)
and describe your distribution's changes in \s-1RDF\s0 using the Dublin Core, \s-1DOAP,\s0
and \s-1DOAP\s0 Change Sets vocabularies. Then in your Makefile.PL, include:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  write_doap_changes "meta/changes.ttl", "Changes", "turtle";
.Ve
.PP
This line will read your data from the file named as the first argument,
parse it using either Turtle or \s-1RDFXML\s0 parsers (the third argument), and
output a human-readable changelog to the file named as the second argument.
.PP
The defaults are \*(L"meta/changes.ttl\*(R", \*(L"Changes\*(R", \*(L"turtle\*(R", so if you name the
files like that, then you can exclude all the arguments and just include
this in your Makefile.PL:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  write_doap_changes;
.Ve
.PP
There's also a line you can use to output a Changes.xml file:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  write_doap_changes_xml "meta/changes.ttl", "Changes.xml", "turtle";
.Ve
.SS "Integration with Module::Install::RDF"
.IX Subsection "Integration with Module::Install::RDF"
Module::Install::RDF reads all the \s-1RDF\s0 it can find in 'meta'. If you invoke
Module::Install::RDF before invoking Module::Install::DOAPChangeSets, then 
this module will use Module::Install::RDF's copy of the data.
