Data File Converter does that for you:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<th>In the RDF file<\/th>\n<th>In the CSV file<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Subject (an IRI or a blank node)<\/td>\n<td>one <strong>row<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Predicate (an IRI such as <code>foaf:name<\/code>)<\/td>\n<td>one <strong>column<\/strong>, named after the last part of the IRI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Object (IRI, literal, or blank node)<\/td>\n<td>the <strong>cell value<\/strong> for that row and column<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>rdf:type<\/code><\/td>\n<td>a <strong>Type<\/strong> column<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Several values for one predicate<\/td>\n<td>merged into one cell, or split into several rows<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Typed literal (<code>\"1234\"^^xsd:int<\/code>, <code>\"2026-09-18\"^^xsd:date<\/code>)<\/td>\n<td>a number \/ date cell when the target supports it, otherwise text<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Language-tagged literal (<code>\"Hello\"@en<\/code>)<\/td>\n<td>text cell (the language tag is dropped)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Long IRIs are shortened to readable column names, and when the source is Turtle, N-Triples or N-Quads, prefixes and <code>@base<\/code> are resolved first &mdash; so a <code>foaf:<\/code> prefix and the full <code>http:\/\/xmlns.com\/foaf\/0.1\/<\/code> property land in the same column.<\/p>\n<p>And for converting other RDF formats to CSV: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withdata.com\/blog\/datafileconverter\/rdf-to-csv.html\">RDF\/XML(.rdf, .owl)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withdata.com\/blog\/datafileconverter\/ttl-to-csv.html\">Turtle(.ttl, .n3)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withdata.com\/blog\/datafileconverter\/nq-to-csv.html\">N-Quads(.nq, .nquads)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Need to convert <strong>between RDF formats<\/strong> (Turtle, RDF\/XML, N-Triples, N-Quads, JSON-LD) instead of to a table?
