Is there a way to get all the details about a geonameId in json or xml?

Thanks!

I'm pretty unsure Jose needs RDF dataset:
1. It contains 100kk triples and you need to host it somewhere...
2. There are not all details (at least timezone information is absent).

I wasnt referring to the dataset download, but the 'about.rdf' endpoint

http://sws.geonames.org/3020251/about.rdf

thats a XML file for a single GeonameID :)

As didnt specify what details wanted it might be enough?

there is a 'get' service for a geonameid:
http://ws.geonames.org/get?geonameId=6295630&style=full

and the rdf service Barry mentioned.
