If you want to translate XML data to RDF data, you come to the right place. This web service provides a fast and automated way of converting XML data to RDF data. Alternative approaches require manual mappings between the XML and RDF data, which is time-consuming and error-prone. In contrast, this tool uses the corresponding Document Type Definition (DTD) to automatically generate the RDF data (i.e., the structure of the RDF properties is derived from the DTD file). However, please note that due to the nature of the implemented approach, our automated process has no capabilities for changing the structure of the generated RDF data. Instead, the generated RDF data is a direct representation of the XML data. Concluding, this service can be used for straight-forward conversion of XML to RDF if DTDs are available.
Please recognize the corresponding Web UI for using this web service interactively.
Table of Contents
The web service is available at https://demos.swe.htwk-leipzig.de:40180/.
To start it execute the following command:
docker-compose upThe service uses HTTPS, so ensure that you provide a volume with the 2
files server.crt and server.key.
The conversion can be done with a POST request at http://localhost:5000/xml2rdf.
The endpoint requires the following JSON payload:
{
"xml": "content of the XML file",
"dtd": "content of the DTD file",
"prefix": "prefix for the generated URIs (optional), default: https://example.org#",
"lang": "language tag for string literals, default: en"

}'In the folder examples you can find a sample DTD file and two sample XML files.
To transform a DTD file to the XSLT stylesheet used for the RDF generation use the endpoint http://localhost:5000/dtd2xslt.
The data payload needs to be the DTD file.
You can use the following URL arguments to adjust the output:
-
prefix: The base URL for the generated URIs, defaults tohttps://example.org# -
lang: The language tag for generated string literals, defaults toen
