As for someone who might want to do this programmatically, he/she should take a look at the "Programming languages" section of the second link I sent along: http://schema.rdfs.org/tools.html There one can find Ruby, Python, and Java extractors and parsers capable of outputting RDF. A developer can take one of these and programmatically get at the data. Apologies if I am misunderstanding your intent. Yours, Kevin On 07/10/2012 04:34 PM, Karen Coyle wrote: > Thanks, Kevin!
