Web Frontend for XML2RDF converter using XML DTD files

If you want to translate XML data to RDF data, you come to the right place. This Web UI provides a fast and automated way of interactively converting XML data to RDF data. It is a frontend providing XML to RDF conversion using the XML2RDF-converter web service. Alternative approaches require manual mappings between the XML and RDF data, which is time-consuming and error-prone. In contrast, this tool uses the corresponding Document Type Definition (DTD) to automatically generate the RDF data (i.e., the structure of the RDF properties is derived from the DTD file). However, please note that due to the nature of the implemented approach, our automated process has no capabilities for changing the structure of the generated RDF data. Instead, the generated RDF data is a direct representation of the XML data. Concluding, this Web UI can be used for straight-forward conversion of XML to RDF if DTDs are available.

The UI was implemented using Python and Streamlit.
