Re: software to draw RDF graph diagrams

Hello,

If you want to represent in graph form an RDF that you already have in a
serialization format, the tool http://www.easyrdf.org/converter can be a
solution. It allows to export the graph in SVG, which you can then edit as
you want with Illustrator or InkScape.
