"""

RDFLib has a :class:`~rdflib.resource.Resource` class, for a resource-centric API.

A resource acts like a URIRef with an associated graph, and allows
quickly adding or querying for triples where this resource is the
subject.

    # slicing ([] syntax) can also be used:

    print("Bill knows: ")
    for friend in bill[FOAF.knows]:
        print(next(friend[FOAF.name]))

    # or even quicker with paths:
    print("Bill knows: ")

        print(friend)

    # setting single properties is also possible:
    bill[RDFS.label] = Literal("William")
