Dear all: As you may know, Yahoo SearchMonkey accepts Semantic Web data only if either provided as RDFa or via the Yahoo-specific dataRSS feed format. This means that RDF/XML and other formats are currently not considered. Since it is sometimes desirable to publish data in RDF/XML rather than RDFa, we developed a conversion service "RDF2dataRSS" that turns RDF/XML into a dataRSS feed, which can then be submitted to Yahoo. The tool is available at http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/tools/rdf2datarss/ It can also be directly accessed from applications in a REST style by sending an HTTP GET request to the URI http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/tools/rdf2datarss/RDF2dataRSSServlet?type=xml&uri=<uri> with <uri> being the URI of an RDF/XML file to be converted, e.g. http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/tools/rdf2datarss/RDF2dataRSSServlet?type=xml&uri=http://www.host.com/rdffile.rdf This returns an XML file containing the RDF content as dataRSS. Disclaimer: The tool is in beta only, so there are no explicit or implicit guarantees given... A big thanks to Thomas Irmscher and Andreas Radinger for their hard work!
