Ah, so he is! My reading eyes are rather broken.

I've never done RDF import. I wrote some tools which automated the
process of import, but they just used standard HTTP post. My interest in
OpenGuides is entirely unrelated to its RDF output, largely because I
think that RDF is an unusable technology at this point.  

If you can write RDF/XML, you can likely write a parser for your data,
and once you can write a parser, you can automate the input of data. If
you want help doing that, a sample of the  data you wish to input would
be the first step towards assisting in creating tools that will help
pull the data in.
