Mapping between Relational Databases and OwL Ontologies: an example

نویسنده

Guntars Bumans

چکیده

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.

TRANS: Schema-Aware Mapping of OWL Ontologies into Relational Databases

An ontology is an explicit specification of shared conceptualization. The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is a family of knowledge representation languages for authoring ontologies, and is endorsed by the World Wide Web Consortium. The main operation on ontologies is to query them and to store them so as to answer queries efficiently. By mapping ontologies to relational databases, we can leverage t...

OWLRel: Learning Rich Ontologies from Relational Databases

Mapping between ontologies and relational databases is a necessity in realising the Semantic Web vision. Most of the work concerning this topic has either (1) extracted OWL schemas using a limited range of OWL modelling constructs from relational schemas, or (2) extracted relational schemas from OWL schemas, that represent the OWL schemas as much as possible. By contrast, we propose a general f...

Use of OWL and SWRL for Semantic Relational Database Translation

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...

BootOX: Bootstrapping OWL 2 Ontologies and R2RML Mappings from Relational Databases

In this demo paper we present BOOTOX, a system facilitating ontology and mapping development by their automatic extraction (i.e., bootstrapping) from relational databases. BOOTOX has a number of advantages: it allows to control the OWL 2 profile of the output ontologies, and to bootstrap complex and provenance mappings, which are beyond the W3C direct mapping specification. Moreover, BOOTOX all...
