A primitive test interface for the conversion script is available ​here (as part of the ​metadata repository. It generates a XML version of any CMDI record identified by a PID (MdSelfLink). (2014-10-21: currently no data imported ;-( )

ICLTT, ÖAW also provides an instance of the ​Virtuoso Triple Store combined with a ​OntoWiki instance for experimenting with the CMD-RDF data.
