"""
RDFLib has a :class:`~rdflib.resource.Resource` class, for a resource-centric API.
The :class:`~rdflib.Graph` class also has a ``resource`` function that can be used
to create resources and manipulate them by quickly adding or querying for triples
where this resource is the subject.

This example shows g.resource() in action.
