"""
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.

    # Slicing ([] syntax) can also be used:
    for friend in bill[FOAF.knows]:
        print(f"Bill knows: {next(friend[FOAF.name])}")

    # Or even quicker with paths:
    for friend in bill[FOAF.knows / FOAF.name]:

    # Setting single properties is also possible:
