Advanced RDB-to-RDF/OWL Mapping Facilities in RDB2OWL
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present advanced features of RDB2OWL mapping specification language that allows expressing RDB-to-RDF/OWL mappings in a concise and human comprehensible way. The RDB2OWL mappings can be regarded as documentation of the database-to-ontology relation. The RDB2OWL language uses the OWL ontology structure as a backbone for mapping specification by placing the database link information into the annotations for ontology classes and properties. Its features include reuse of database table key information, user defined scalar and aggregate functions, table-based functions and multiclass conceptualization that is essential to keep mappings compact in case when large tables are mapped onto several classes on the table field value existence basis.

RDB2OWL: a RDB-to-RDF/OWL Mapping Specification Language
We present a RDB2OWL mapping specification language that is aimed at presenting RDB-to-RDF/OWL mappings possibly involving advanced correspondences between the database and ontology in a human comprehensible way. The RDB2OWL mappings can be regarded as documentation of the database-to-ontology relation. The RDB2OWL language reuses the OWL ontology structure as a backbone for mapping specificati...
متن کاملMapping of Owl Ontology Concepts to Rdb Schemas
Modern technologies of Semantic Web, the growing complexity of information systems, the needs of knowledge bases and smart Web agents require conceptual models to gain an improved form of semantic knowledge models – i.e. ontology. Currently, the main technique of storing ontology is based on files containing descriptions of ontology in RDF/RDFS or OWL. On the other hand, the relational database...
متن کاملIntegration Mapping Rules: Transforming Relational Database to Semantic Web Ontology
Semantic integration became an attractive area of research in several disciplines, such as information integration, databases and ontologies. Huge amount of data is still stored in relational databases (RDBs) that can be used to build ontology, and the database cannot be used directly by the semantic web. Therefore, one of the main challenges of the semantic web is mapping relational databases ...
متن کاملA survey of RDB to RDF translation approaches and tools
Relational databases scattered over the web are generally opaque to regular web crawling tools. To address this concern, many RDB-to-RDF approaches have been proposed over the last years. In this paper, we propose a detailed review of seventeen RDB-to-RDF initiatives, considering end-to-end projects that delivered operational tools. The different tools are classified along three major axes: map...
متن کاملMapping relational database into OWL Structure
this paper proposes a solution for migrating an RDB into Web semantic. The solution takes an existing RDB as input, and extracts its metadata representation (MTRDB). Based on the MTRDB, a Canonical Data Model (CDM) is generated. Finally, the structure of the classification scheme in the CDM model is converted into OWL ontology and the recordsets of database are stored in owl document. A prototy...
