mimeType

A character value containing the RDF format type. The default is "application/rdf+xml".

Details

This method resets the slot ResourceMap@world so any previously stored triples are discarded, allowing for a clean model object in which to parse the new RDF content into. It is assumed that the content is a valid ORE resource map therefor no validation checks specific to the OAI-ORE content model are performed.
