Hello Experts !! I am trying to extract data from web using Web API. The web query from which I am trying to extract the data is in RDF-XML format which cannot be uploaded here. So, I uploaded it on google.docs. Kindly access the file through this link https://docs.google.com/document/d/12sQnToF4Vzr3lKl5oxyEVwggCEEMKmeWIcnvBxUJR5g/edit?hl=en_US&authkey=CLfQkZUB I am trying to extract title(may be just dc:title or prism:title), PMID, users(creator) their respective tags(subject) and authors(foaf:name) out of this file using perl code. The rdf.xml file is just an example. If there are more than one users(creator) as shown in the file, the rest of the infomration for title, authors, PMID are repeated for all the users. I want to get unique title, authors, PMID and remove duplicates. I am all new to perl programing. The perl code is as follows: 

use lib 'C:/Perl64/www-connotea-perl-0.1/lib/';

my $fn0="extracted-connotea-pubmedID-1.txt";
open (IN0, $fn0) or
    die "Can't open $fn0: $!\n";
    

open (FH, ">:utf8",'title_pmid_users_tags.txt');

When I use this code I get output something like this, this is the output for the rdf.xml file, which has repeated title and PMIDs and if I extract authors they will be repeated to ( I haven't yet extracted authors). I just want unique title and PMID and author information when I extract it.
