loading many small rdf/xml files

[Andrew U. Frank]

i have to load the Gutenberg projects catalog in rdf/xml format. this is a collection of about 50,000 files, each containing a single record as attached.

<rdf:RDF xml:base="http://www.gutenberg.org/";>

and similar, which can only occur once per file.



i am sure there is a better way?

thank you for the help!

andrew

if i try to concatenate these files into a single one the result is not legal rdf/xml - there are xml doc headers: i found a way to load each file individually with s-put and a loop, but this runs extremely slowly - it is alrady running for more than 10 hours; each file takes half a second to load (fuseki running as localhost).
