Traumwind - hackdiary: Using OpenOffice Draw to author RDF

OpenOffice's vector-drawing app has a very nice Visio-like 'connector' tool that can link objects together with lines. It's very easy to put together labelled directed graph diagrams and have the lines re-flow as you move the nodes around. It also has a well-documented XML file format, which got me thinking that graph drawings could be converted into RDF automatically. I wrote some python code to read in OO files and print out n-triples.
