Database to Semantic Web Mapping Using RDF Query Languages

چکیده

One of the main drawbacks of the Semantic Web is the lack of semantically rich data, since most of the information is still stored in relational databases. In this paper, we present an approach to map legacy data stored in relational databases into the Semantic Web using virtually any modern RDF query language, as long as it is closed within RDF. Consequently, a Semantic Web developer does not need to learn and adopt a new mapping language, but he may perform the mapping task using his preferred RDF query language.

RDF Databases for Querying XML. A Model-mapping Approach

Some recent research works face the challenge to map XML documents to RDF triples. Ontologies are used to establish semantic connections among XML applications, and some mechanisms have been defined to query them with natural XML query languages like XPath and XML Query. Generally structure-mapping approaches define a simple translation between trivial XPath expressions and a target RDF query l...

D2R Server – Publishing Relational Databases on the Semantic Web

D2R Server is a tool for publishing the content of relational databases on the Semantic Web. Database content is mapped to RDF by a declarative mapping which specifies how resources are identified and how property values are generated from database content. Based on this mapping, D2R Server allows Web agents to retrieve RDF and XHTML representations of resources and to query non-RDF databases u...

A Model for Interoperability: XML Documents as an RDF Database

We propose a model for a Resource Description Format (RDF) database for interlinear glossed text (IGT) created from documents encoded in the Extensible Markup Language (XML) using markup metaschemas. A metaschema, constructed using the Semantic Interpretation Language (SIL) (Simons 2004) maps XML-encoded documents to a common semantically rich RDF database. The RDF database in turn can be searc...

Automapper: Relational Database Semantic Translation using OWL and SWRL

General purpose query interfaces to relational databases can expose vast amounts of content to the Semantic Web. In this paper, we discuss Automapper, a tool that automatically generates data source and mapping ontologies using OWL and SWRL. We also describe the use of these ontologies in our Semantic Distributed Query architecture, an implementation for mapping RDF queries to disparate data so...
