Level Up: Online CSV to RDF Converter (Beta)

Fri, 18 Aug 2017 08:22:56 +0000

This online converter for CSV files was created for the many people out there who are big supporters of "Open Data" but are uncomfortable with getting that data into a format that can be used for Linked Data (regardless of whether it was open or not). Whilst many are happy with saving tabular data as CSV files, a surprising amount are still fairly mystified by saving that same data in RDF format. For more information about "Why RDF?", "What's Linked Open Data?" and similar questions – please have a read of the FAQ; this page concentrates on how to use the converter options to tweak the RDF output. The final step is to simply download a zip file of the converted CSV. The zip file includes the data in three formats – RDF, Turtle (.ttl) and N-Triples (.nt).

FOAF-a-Matic

Abi Evans — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 02:33:10 +0000

FOAF-a-matic is a simple JavaScript application that allows you to create a FOAF (Friend-of-A-Friend) description of yourself. FOAF is a way to describe yourself using XML and RDF. This allows software to process these descriptions, perhaps as part of an automated search engine, to discover information about your and the communities of which you're a member. FOAF has the potential to drive many new interesting developments in online communities.

Google Refine 2.0 – Data Transformation

Abi Evans — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 03:26:20 +0000

Following up on the introductory video to Google Refine, this video focuses on data transformations. It shows how Google Refine can be used to transform a dataset from one format to another. This includes the use of facets and filters to isolate subsets of the data and act upon them to clean up the data. It also includes exporting the data in various formats (such as JSON). A history of transformation operations can be saved and reused on future datasets.

RDFa: Linked Data in HTML

Abi Evans — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 03:26:18 +0000

RDFa Play is a real-time RDFa 1.1 editor, data visualizer and debugger. RDFa is a way of publishing Linked Data in HTML5 documents- it solves both the data silo-ing and data linking problem by helping you markup things like People, Places, Events, Recipes and Reviews. Search Engines and Web Services use this markup to generate better search listings and give you better visibility on the Web, so that people can find your website more easily.
