This tool converts RDF/XML or N3 content into DataRSS feeds as accepted by Yahoo SearchMonkey. The tool can be used to feed GoodRelations-based e-commerce descriptions into the Yahoo family of technology.

It is based on the Sesame 2.2.4 framework from http://www.openrdf.org

You can see a working sample here: http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/tools/rdf2datarss

If you want to build your own application out of the source you have to consider the following instructions:

WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml: I) create a context parameter by using the code:

<context-param>

<param-name>

RDFDir

</param-name>

<param-value>

/home/projects/rdf2datarss/user_files

</param-value>

</context-param>

this is the folder where the converted rss files will be stored

II) register the specific classes as servlets:

<servlet>

<description>

</description>

<display-name>

RDF2DataRSSServlet

</display-name>

<servlet-name>

RDF2DataRSSServlet

</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>

servlet.RDF2DataRSSServlet

</servlet-class>

</servlet>

III) additionally let's do some uri mappings:

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>

RDF2DataRSSServlet

</servlet-name>

<url-pattern>

/RDF2DataRSSServlet

</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>

RDF2DataRSSServlet

</servlet-name>

<url-pattern>

/RDF2dataRSSServlet

</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

WebContent/META-INF/context.xml I) make sure that the library-files won't be locked by the application server:

<context antiResourceLocking="true" antiJARLocking="true">

<!-- Default set of monitored resources -->

<watchedresource>

WEB-INF/web.xml

</watchedresource>

<!-- Uncomment this to disable session persistence across Tomcat restarts --> <!-- -->

</context>
