Then go to the page Special:XMLTransformation, here you can insert the needed resources to be transformed:

1. the URL of the RDF/XML resource you want to transform
2. and the xsl stylesheet that contains the rules for transformation (this must be a Wiki page, e.g.: “MediaWiki:SMWToSKOS.xsl” see an example at https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/MediaWiki:SMWToSKOS.xsl)

After pressing the button [Transform] the given RDF/XML resource should be transformed accordingly.

Note: the extension gives no warnings (yet) if an error occurs during the transformation or if a resource cannot be downloaded etc..
