XML to RDF transformation using an XSLT

xml2rdf.xsl is the first freely available XSLT stylesheet for transforming XML into RDF/XML documents. It is a contribution of the AstroGrid-D to the public domain.

Details

The xml2rdf.xsl XSL stylesheet can be used to transform arbitrary XML documents into the RDF/XML format. In AstroGrid-D it is used to convert information from XML format into RDF/XML, which can then be provided to the Stellaris information service. Therefore xml2rdf.xsl constitutes an important component for certain information providers.

One example is the conversion of metadata of robotic telescopes which is specified in RTML.

Another example is the conversion of the Monitoring & Discovery System (MDS) information of the Globus Toolkit which is defined through various schemas.

For additional information see the talk on: "Grid-Integration of Robitc Telescopes", ICTP Triest, 2007.
