[open-bibliography] Basic RDF/XML to bibtex/RIS conversion?

[Ben O'Steen]

Graphml is an easy to hack format for Gephi, especially if you are using
python to hack with - you might find the following code helpful:

https://github.com/benosteen/PubMed-OA-network-analysis-scripts/blob/master/create_network.py

eg

import networkx as nx
from graphml import write_graphml

# the graphml.py in that repo is an improved version of the one in networkx)

g = nx.DiGraph() #directed graph (useful for citations)

g.add_node(node_id, **params) # params is key: value pairs, keys should be
present for all nodes if used.

# for example, params could be
# params = {'title': 'foo',
#                 'author':....  etc
#                 }

g.add_edge(from_node_id, to_node_id) # the edge can also have params

write_graphml(g, open("output.graphml", "w"))


And then just open the graphml in Gephi
