SemWeb : SemWeb Namespace
RdfXmlWriter Class

Writes RDF statements to an RDF/XML file.

public class RdfXmlWriter : RdfWriter

Remarks

The RdfXmlWriter buffers the entire output document in memory, before writing the document to the stream when Close is called.

The namespaces used in the output data must be registered with the NamespaceManager in the RdfWriter.Namespaces property before the first call to Add. Failure to do so may prevent the document from being written to the stream, as not all URIs can be automatically converted into an XML qualified name.

The following example writes out RDF statements in RDF/XML format to a file:

C# Example
using (RdfXmlWriter output = new RdfXmlWriter("filename.rdf")) {
    output.Namespaces.AddNamespace("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/", "foaf");
    output.BaseUri = "http://www.example.org/";
    output.Write(datasource);
}  

All constructors for the RdfXmlWriter have a couterpart with an additional parameter for a SemWeb.RdfXmlWriter.Options object that specifies formatting parameters for the output. When an Options object is not used, RdfXmlWriter.Options.Full is used. This parameter can be used with the RdfXmlWriter.Options.XMP field to ensure the resulting XML document conforms to the Adobe XMP specification.
