  39/** <module> User preference handling
  40
  41This module defines _access_  to  user-preferences.   The  API  for  the
  42preference system is based on RDF. This   allows for using the RDF-store
  43for storing preferences, typically using the  OpenID URI as subject. The
  44actual storage infrastructure must be  implemented   using  hooks in the
  45=cliopatria=      module:      cliopatria:user_preference_db/2       and
  46cliopatria:user_preference_default/2.
  47
  48Preferences are defines in the RDF   namespace with prefix =user=, which
  49expands to:
