ANNOUNCEMENT: rdf2owlxml 0.2 publicly released rdf2owlxml [1] converts OWL ontologies from RDF/XML-serialisation [2] into the OWL/XML Presentation Syntax [3]. It is actually not much more but a light-weight wrapper around KAON2 [4]. The OWL/XML Presentation Syntax [3] has some advantages compared to the standard RDF/XML-serialisation, like an easier further processing with standard XML techniques like the XSL-family of standards, XQuery and many more. Hopefully, by providing this converter, it will foster some new developments like an XSL-Transformer of OWL Ontologies into SVG or XHTML or such pretty cool stuff, that has not been achievable easy with the usual RDF/XML-serialised ontologies. Go to http://km.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/rdf2owlxml/ This is the first public release, so don't you may still stumble over some technical details. Feedback is highly welcomed to denny@aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de rdf2owlxml is totally based on the implementation of the ontolgy im- and exporter implented in KAON2 [4] by Boris Motik of the FZI [5]. rdf2owlxml is developed by Denny Vrandecic of the AIFB [6] of the University of Karlsruhe.
