Years ago I played with making a (restrited) parse tree of natural language
utterances generate "tidy" representations of bibliographic data:

    https://blog.okfn.org/2010/08/09/cataloguing-bibliographic-data-with-natural-language-and-rdf/

More recently, I used some similar machinery to map between representations, not
necessarily RDF:

    From a parse-tree of kappa-language rules (a non-RDF rule language
    expressing interaction of agents in a way suitable for molecular biology
    simulation) to RDF representation of the same, using N3 to fill in the
    blanks, in particular the bit at the end about generating a contact map:

    https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article-abstract/32/6/908/1743798


    From an RDF representation of a genetic circuit to a representation in a
    vocabulary designed to generate kappa-language rules via templates:

    https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acssynbio.8b00201

    (this second one could perhaps have been done in exactly the inverse
    direction, generating an AST representation in RDF and then having a generic
    pretty-printer, and that might have been more elegant)

Best wishes,
