This is probably technically possible - but you'd need to process a lot of complex mage-ml to get out some quite simple information - there's a node-edge sample processing graph, plus all the external data files in there - mage-ml is mostly tags and the files are large. We've moved internally to MAGE-TAB format, we have a MAGE-TAB parser that's being used by a couple of groups. We will be developing a standalone parser/backend database which will allow users to build a standalone atlas. There may be more mileage in developing that parser further to support RDF than to persue MAGE-ML.

I am sorry if I come into this thread very late. Additionally to what
Ralph just said, the RDFa distiller running on the W3C site:

http://www.w3.org/2007/08/pyRdfa/

should actually work with an arbitrary XML file, although only SVG is
'announced' there (which is probably my mistake). If there is a problem
then, well... it is my bug:-(

I see that the 2008 draft
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/rdfa-overview
says
"RDFa itself is intended to be a technique that allows for adding metadata to any (XML) markup document, including SMIL, RSS, SVG, MathML, etc. Note, however, that in the current state, RDFa is being defined only for the (X)HTML family of languages."
The RDFa specification was designed with the intent that other
languages than XHTML could take advantage of RDFa markup.
(The terminology "host language" was used in some drafts
to signal this direction.)  The charter under which the group
was operating was specific to XHTML, thus the wording in
the W3C Recommendation.

So I think I will go ahead and add some RDFa markup to the
XML,
By all means, reuse the RDFa vocabulary if it seems appropriate
for your application.
