Great :-)

In the case that would help, please note that I've re-published a
"richer" version of our paper that describes the work, as :

http://www-public.telecom-sudparis.eu/~berger_o/papier-oss2013/

You'll see that it embeds some Linked Data too, reusing the Linked
Research approach [2] (and check the JS menu for better output).

Btw, the ADMS.SW format has seen some later revisions in the form of
Application Profiles of ADMS. For instance, the Joinup platform now
expects things more in-line with the rest of the ADMS specs [1], which
has led me to work on a light adaptation of the ADMS.SW output of
FusionForge (which is deployed on Alioth.debian.org) [0]. The latest
version has been deployed for tests on
https://adullact.net/plugins/admssw/index.php if you're curious.

The differences aren't big, but some choices are probably better. But
for a start, porting in an "exact" way may be the safer bet, until some
consumer complains about the lack of certain details.

I think the order of priority could be Turtle, the JSON-LD and finally
RDF/XML if need be, nowadays. But we lack statistics on the popularity.

That sounds like a perfect way to go : I'm quite busy at the moment
(recent parent of twins ;), so I can't dedicate much effort on that for
the coming months, but I'm glad to help.

Thank you very much, and good luck.
