This is documentation for the ANVL Perl module, which provides a general
framework for data represented in the ANVL format. ANVL (A Name Value
Language) represents elements in a label-colon-value format similar to
email headers. Specific conversions, based on an "output multiplexer"
File::OM, are possible to XML, Turtle, JSON, CSV, and PSV (Pipe Separated
Value), and Plain unlabeled text.

The OM package can also be used to build records from scratch in ANVL or
other the formats. Below is an example of how to create a particular kind
of ANVL record known as an ERC (which uses Dublin Kernel metadata). For
the formats ANVL, Plain, and XML, the returned text string by default is
wrapped to 72 columns.
