RDF2RDFa Converter

by Roberto García, Martin Hepp, and Andreas Radinger

What is it?

This tool converts RDF/XML (in the future also N3) content into RDFa snippets that can be easily pasted into existing XHTML Web pages. This is a very convenient way of providing GoodRelations-based e-commerce descriptions into RDF-aware search engines, namely Yahoo SearchMonkey.

It is based on the RDF2HTML converter available from the ReDeFer project.

 

Form-based Web Access

Convert the RDF/XML file available at a given URI to RDFa snippet

Please specify the URI of the RDF/XML file to be converted:

Convert direct RDF/XML content to a RDFa snippet:

Paste a RDF/XML document into the text field below:

 

Web Service

The RDF2RDFa tool can also be directly accessed from applications in a REST style by sending an HTTP GET request to the URI

http://rhizomik.net/redefer-services/rdf2rdfa?mode=snippet&rdf=RDFURL

with "RDFURL" being the URI of a RDF/XML file to be converted, e.g.

http://rhizomik.net/redefer-services/rdf2rdfa?mode=snippet&rdf=http://www.heppnetz.de/semanticweb.rdf

or, better, with the URI properly escaped:

http://rhizomik.net/redefer-services/rdf2rdfa?mode=snippet&rdf=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.heppnetz.de%2Fsemanticweb.rdf

This directly returns an RDFa snippet, representing the submitted RDF content as a block div/span elements without visible content. This can be pasted easily before the closing "</body>" element in any XHTML document.
