Well, it's XML so one way to transform an RDF file is with XSLT. Google for "XSLT RDF CSV", etc. One thing to watch out for is the RDF output normalizes various characters to create valid RDF names, e.g. ':' becomes "-3A". You could also directly query the underlying smw_* tables. You could do this in any programming language, but you could also do it from the wiki Web interface by copying or extending the existing Special:ExportRDF to support additional export formats. Currently SMW_SpecialExportRDF.php mixes its RDF generation with recursing through pages; it would be nice if it separated output from walking. Another approach would be to load the RDF into some tool with its own export features, but I know nothing about such tools. -- =S ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
