Abstract
X2R is a tool for translating data in legacy formats to linked data in RDF format. By observing, the conversion processes are challenging and time consuming for many developers in general. Pre-processing of the input data is typically necessary in order to capture the semantics of the input data and make the data conform to the conventions of the selected translator. If a novice developer decided to skip this step and to use the default settings. As a result, this RDF file produced automatically often contain temporary URIs generated by the translator. The file may also have blank nodes. Clearly, one cannot search for these types of nodes. Their presence in a file hinders the discovery of the content of the file. For this reason, we refer to them as bad nodes. To improve the quality of the RDF file produced by post-processing. We present X2R to help the developer who is not familiar with RDF format and related techniques. X2R performs the replacement of bad nodes minted by translators with reusable URIs found in popular endpoints and internal ontology by supporting URI searching and URI replacing functionalities.
