GraphQL *to* RDF-OWL?

[peterdresslar]

Have you considered reversing the process and converting GraphQL (SDL) to RDF-S or OWL? (Would need Subclassing to handle GraphQL Type inheritance)

Hi @peterdresslar
I'm considering it right now :)
I believe it would be easier to convert from GraphQL than the inverse.
We could start by loading the schema into memory then handle the javascript objects to create the classes and subclasses.
rdfs:subClassOf would then be needed indeed for the GraphQL implements keywords.
Cheers,

@dherault I think it would be quite useful in a number of cases. For my particular use case I am hoping to migrate from SDL to OWL specifically, but it is easy to imagine working from GraphQL objects or even an introspection result. I'd be happy to help out.

**edit: Hmm in fact one thing that might be useful to start would be to write the documentation for the inverted case, if that makes sense. The tables should be simpler.

If you happen to write a documentation on the subject please put it here and/or PR a README.md update or a GRAPHQL_TO_OWL.md file with a link on the readme.
Thanks,

Will do a new file--there seem to be two major approaches that could be taken, and that choice will drastically affect the README

Deeply WIP, but also very interesting to think about:
