SiRPAC - Simple RDF Parser & Compiler

Introduction

This program compiles RDF/XML documents into the 3-tuples of the corresponding RDF data model. The documents can reside on local file system or at a URI on the Web. Also, the parser can be configured to automatically fetch corresponding RDF schemas from the declared namespaces.

This version is suitable for embedded use as well as command line use.

SiRPAC builds on top of the Simple API to XML documents (SAX).

Online service

You can paste here an RDF/XML document and you will get both a 3-tuple (triple) representation of the corresponding data model as well as a graphical visualization of the data model.

News

Since the release V1.11, SiRPAC is now available for developers through the CVS at W3C.
