NAME
    TAP::Formatter::EARL - Formatting TAP output using the Evaluation and
    Report Language

SYNOPSIS
    Use on the command line:

      prove --formatter TAP::Formatter::EARL -l

DESCRIPTION
    This is a formatter for TAP-based test results to output them using the
    Evaluation and Report Language <https://www.w3.org/TR/EARL10-Guide/>,
    which is a vocabulary based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF) to
    describe test results, so that they can be shared, for example as part of
    an audit.

    This module has a number of attributes, but they are all optional, as they
    have reasonable defaults. Many of them can be set using environment
    variables. It further extends TAP::Formatter::Console.

  Attributes
    *   `model`

        An Attean mutable model that will contain the generated RDF triples. A
        temporary model is used by default.

    *   `ns`

        A URI::NamespaceMap object. This can be used internally in programming
        with prefixes, and to abbreviate using the given prefixes in
        serializations. It is initialized by default with the prefixes used
        internally.

    *   `graph_name`

        An Attean::IRI to use as graph name for all triples. In normal
        operations, the formatter will not use the graph name, and so the
        default is set to `http://example.test/graph`. Normal coercions apply.

        It can be set using the environment variable `EARL_GRAPH_NAME`.

    *   `base`

        An Attean::IRI to use as the base URI for relative URIs in the
        serialized output. The default is no base. Normal coercions apply.

        It can be set using the environment variable `EARL_BASE`.

    *   `software_prefix`, `assertion_prefix`, `result_prefix`

        Prefixes for URIs of the script running the test, the assertion that a
        certain result has been found, and the result itself, respectively.

        They accept a URI::Namespace object. They have relative URIs as
        defaults. These will not be set as a prefix in the serializer. Normal
        coercions apply.

        They can be set using environment variables, `EARL_SOFTWARE_PREFIX`,
        `EARL_ASSERTION_PREFIX` and `EARL_RESULT_PREFIX`, respectively.

  Methods
    These methods are specialised implementations of methods in the superclass
    TAP::Formatter::Base.

    *   `open_test`

        This is called to create a new test session. It first describes the
        software used in RDF before calling TAP::Formatter::EARL::Session.

    *   `summary`

        Serializes the model to Turtle and prints it to STDOUT.

TODO
    This is a rudimentary first release, it will only make use of data parsed
    from each individual test result.

    EARL reports can be extended to become a part of an extensive Linked Data
    cloud. It can also link to tests as formulated by e.g.
    Test::FITesque::RDF.
