Converting Bookmarks from Firefox to RDF

You want to get the bookmarks out of your Firefox browser for exchanging the bookmarks with others. The current export format is SGML-style HTML, therefore not readable with current XML/Semantic Web toolkits. To convert the old bookmarks.html to RDF, do the following:

  1. export your firefox bookmarks (Bookmarks/Manage Bookmarks/File/Export)
  2. jtidy -asxml bookmarks.html > bookmarks.xhtml
  3. xsltproc -o bookmarks.rdf bookmarks.xsl bookmarks.xhtml
  4. =:-)
