Sure, you can use a tool like rapper (from libraptor [1] ) to convert any RDF into generic HTML, but using a tool which generates generic HTML from generic RDF it will probably not look very pretty - as it is a hard task. libraptor will output an HTML table, with 3 columns, representing the Subject Predicate and Object. In short you will probably have to write code which queries your RDF, and writes out HTML. I do this on my personal homepage [2] which is generated from an RDF file [3] describing me. Ping me off-list if you want me to share some PHP code (albeit dirty) which I use to do this, it is all pretty simple :) Mischa [1] http://librdf.org/raptor/ [2] http://mmt.me.uk/ [3] http://mmt.me.uk/foaf.rdf > > I notice that it would be really helpful if I could automatically generate > HTML files based on the RDF files.
