What is the > 'semantic web' here? By "semantic web" I don't mean something very specific but it definitely is about RDF, not XML and HTML, although you can have RDF in XML or embed RDF in HTML via RDFa. > I think it is addressed by a python tool here > > http://code.google.com/p/semantic-fire/ This does not convert HTML pages into well-formed XML. This addresses the issue that is raised on Semantic Overflow as pointed out by Kammler Hammez but is not relevant for the subject of this thread. > and there must be other tools, too, but I don't have references to hand. > > Generally the problem is referred to as Lifting, although this is restricted > to XML --> RDF and RDF --> some expressive representation of the semantics > contained.

HTML Tidy turns a HTML web page into a well-formed XML document. Again, there's nothing related to RDF and it has nothing semantic, it's pure syntactical transformation. But if you have XML documents instead of messy HTML pages (as most webpages online are), you can use XML-specific tools to, for instance, generate RDF or something else. But this does not make the "XMLification" a semantic web issue. > I haven't used semantic fire but is should be capable of the task. Semantic Fire generates RDF, which is not the subject of this thread but thanks for mentioning it, may be useful for other tasks.
