ANN: Krextor 0.2 (XML --XSLT--> RDF extraction framework)

Dear all,

  there is a new version (0.2) of Krextor at
http://kwarc.info/projects/krextor/.

New features:
* blank nodes
* inverse properties
* multilingual literals
* datatypes
* RDF extraction from arbitrary XML languages made more convenient

Krextor is an extensible XSLT-based framework for extracting RDF from XML,
supporting multiple input languages as well as multiple output RDF notations.
Krextor provides convenience templates that try to do “the right thing”™ in
many common cases, as to reduce the need for manually writing repetitive code.

Currently not too many input and output formats are actually implemented.
However, Krextor was designed for easy extensibility. The idea is that you
have some semantic web application that works with RDF (e.g. for querying or
reasoning) but that most of your knowledge is hidden in XML markup. Using
Krextor and some suitable ontologies you can then specify a mapping from XML
markup to RDF in terms of these ontologies.

If you want to give it a try for your XML language, or, let's say,
Microformat, I'd be happy to support you in doing so.

Cheers,

Christoph
