Excel 2 RDF

This is an open-source application that converts Excel or ODS files to RDF, following the template rules described in the documentation. It comes in 4 variants :

• An input form
• An API (GET / POST)
• A command-line tool
• A Java library that you can integrate in your application

Check-out the introduction slides for more information.

Human input form

The RDF converter is integrated in this input form where you will find a form to upload an Excel / ODS file, enter a URL or test one of the provided example files. It contains a few options such as getting the result in ZIP, etc.
By default the converter will apply SKOS post-processings, check the corresponding checkbox to disable this.

Working with google spreadsheets

To convert a Google spreadsheet, you can :

1. Share the Sheet with everyone ("Everyone with the link" in Sharing options.) It is not possible to convert private Google Sheets.
2. Build the Excel download URL of the sheet, which is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/{ID of your spreadhseet}/export?format=xlsx
3. Use this as the URL value.

For example:

1. Google spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1S5K7cl-8-JFyqnCZP2pVhI3-E4IK0XgCPElkr657jJg
2. Excel export of the spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1S5K7cl-8-JFyqnCZP2pVhI3-E4IK0XgCPElkr657jJg/export?format=xlsx
3. Result of RDF conversion at https://xls2rdf.sparna.fr/rest/convert?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fspreadsheets%2Fd%2F1S5K7cl-8-JFyqnCZP2pVhI3-E4IK0XgCPElkr657jJg%2Fexport%3Fformat%3Dxlsx&noPostProcessings=true

Can I use the API in production ?

Of course not, you fool ! Please refer to the Github repository where you will find the open-source code of the converter as well as a command-line version.
