RDB2Onto: Approach for creating semantic metadata from relational database data
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present the approach for creating semantic metadata from relational database data. When building ontology-based information systems, it is often needed to convert or replicate data from existing information systems (such as databases) to the ontology based information systems, if we want the ontology-based systems to work with real data. RDB2Onto tool converts selected data from a relational database to a RDF/OWL ontology document based on a defined template. Such filled in templates can be then stored to the ontology-based knowledge memory. In the paper we also evaluate the tool against existing solutions, such as RDQUERY or D2RQ.

متن کاملeXtensible Relational Databases: a relational approach to interoperability
Successful data integration relies on knowledge of (i) the structural shape of constituent data sources, and (ii) semantic knowledge of how structural terms map together, or how structure maps to structure. In this paper, we propose a simple extension to the relational model which allows these types of metaknowledge to be stored directly within relational sources and then incorporated into quer...
متن کاملMetadata and the Semantic Web — and CREAM
Richly interlinked, machine-understandable data constitutes the basis for the Semantic Web. Annotating web documents is one of the major techniques for creating metadata on the Web. However, annotation tools so far are restricted in their capabilities of providing richly interlinked and truely machine-understandable data. They basically allow the user to annotate with plain text according to a ...
