Dear all:
As you may know, Yahoo SearchMonkey accepts Semantic Web data only if
either provided as RDFa or via the Yahoo-specific dataRSS feed format.
This means that RDF/XML and other formats are currently not considered.
Since it is sometimes desirable to publish data in RDF/XML rather than
RDFa, we developed a conversion service "RDF2dataRSS" that turns RDF/XML
into a dataRSS feed, which can then be submitted to Yahoo.
The tool is available at
http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/tools/rdf2datarss/
It can also be directly accessed from applications in a REST style by
sending an HTTP GET request to the URI
http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/tools/rdf2datarss/RDF2dataRSSServlet?type=xml&uri=<uri>
with <uri> being the URI of an RDF/XML file to be converted, e.g.
http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/tools/rdf2datarss/RDF2dataRSSServlet?type=xml&uri=http://www.host.com/rdffile.rdf
This returns an XML file containing the RDF content as dataRSS.
Disclaimer: The tool is in beta only, so there are no explicit or
implicit guarantees given...
A big thanks to Thomas Irmscher and Andreas Radinger for their hard work!
Best
Martin
