how so?

last I checked Roam did not have any way of exporting content that I could find

for that kind of tool, that's a feature that should exist from day one

There's working export to both JSON and markdown. Perhaps it's been added since you checked?

I'm asking because I feel like creating a good information structure within roam seems to require skills in technology like RDF. It's also the first time I've felt that creating and consuming content as a user is as efficient as I'd like, without throwing possibility for automation overboard.

cool, that means I need to give it a second look
