Spreadsheets are widely used by knowledge workers, especially in the industrial sector. Their methodology enables a well understood, easy and fast possibility to enter data. As filling out a spreadsheet is more accessible to common knowledge workers than defining RDF statements, in this paper, we propose an easy-to-use, zero-configuration, web-based spreadsheet editor that simultaneously transfers spreadsheet entries into RDF statements. It enables various kinds of users to easily create semantic data whether they are RDF experts or novices. The typical scenario we address focuses on creating instance data starting with an empty knowledge base that is filled incrementally. In a user study, participants were able to create more statements in shorter time, having similar or even significantly outperforming quality, compared to other approaches.
RDForms http: rdforms.org allows for creating RDF triples using forms which are predefined by templates. Whenever the user enters something in the form, it is simultaneously transferred to RDF triples. RDFEdit https: joinup.ec.europa.eu software rdfedit description is an editor reusing RDForms which is able to search, view and edit RDF data. Aditya @cite_1 proposed an RDF editor equipped with the RDF Instance Creator (RIC) feature. They follow the same form-based approach like RDForms.

RDF is emerging as one of the main languages for creating semantic markup on the web. The RDF Editor combines WYSIWIG HTML editing with a semantic web portal for guided semantic markup using distributed vocabularies. Instead of serving as a platform for developing vocabularies and relationships, this editor is designed to provide a simple interface for users to add RDF to their HTML documents as they are created. Users can search online repositories for existing ontologies to borrow terms for use in their own documents. This paper describes the implementation and interface features of the tool.
