Over the past several years the amount of published open data has increased significantly. The majority of this is tabular data, that requires powerful and flexible approaches for data cleaning and preparation in order to convert it into Linked Data. This paper introduces Grafterizer – a software framework developed to support data workers and data developers in the process of converting raw tabular data into linked data. Its main components include Grafter, a powerful software library and DSL for data cleaning and RDF-ization, and Grafterizer, a user interface for interactive specification of data transformations along with a back-end for management and execution of data transformations. The proposed demonstration will focus on Grafterizer’s powerful features for data cleaning and RDF-ization in a scenario using data about the risk of failure of transport infrastructure components due to natural hazards.
