Mapping between Relational Databases and OwL Ontologies: an example
Guntars Būmans · 2010
This paper shows how relational databases can be used to define a bridging mechanism between relational database and OWL ontology. We demonstrate on a simple yet completely elaborated example how mapping information stored in relational tables can be processed using SQL to generate RDF triples for OWL class and property instances. This technology provides the means to use relational database as a powerful tool to transform relational data to Semantic Web layer.
