چکیده

Data integration provides the user with a unified view of legacy data, and the semantic mapping from relational database (local sources) to global ontologies is one of key aspects for building data integration system. The manual mapping is time-consuming and error-prone. In this paper, groups of semantic mapping rules from relational database to global OWL ontologies are proposed in detail, including rules for the classes, properties, restriction and instances, which avoid migrating large amounts of data. The rules are demonstrated with examples. They are practical for semantic mapping or ontologies learning (semi-)automatically.

Mapping OWL to the Entity Relationship and Extended Entity Relationship models

This paper presents mapping rules to conceptually model an Entity Relationship (ER) diagram and Extended Entity Relationship (EER) diagram from OWL by identifying ER and EER constructs in OWL. OWL has been designed for the semantic web, but data in OWL format is not easy to manipulate or query. The conceptual view of OWL presented in this paper is necessary to understand OWL and OWL data, and w...

A Meta-logical Approach for Reasoning with Ontologies and Rules Expressed In OWL 2 VISIT HIRANKITTI and TRANG

OWL is a decidable language for representing ontologies, it adds considerable expressive power to the Semantic Web. However, it has several shortcomings in relational expressivity. These limitations can be overcome by extending an OWL ontology with some form of rules. The revision 2 of OWL is much richer than its predecessor with respect to modeling with rules. In this paper we propose a framew...

Integration 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 ...

Automatic Transformation of Relational Database Schema into OWL Ontologies

Ontology alignment, or ontology matching, is a technique of mapping different concepts between ontologies. For this purpose at least two ontologies are required. In certain scenarios, such as data integration, heterogeneous database integration and data model compatibility evaluation, a need to transform a relational database schema to an ontology can arise. To conduct a successful transformati...

Mapping Master: A Flexible Approach for Mapping Spreadsheets to OWL

We describe a mapping language for converting data contained in spreadsheets into the Web Ontology Language (OWL). The developed language, called M, overcomes shortcomings with existing mapping techniques, including their restriction to well-formed spreadsheets reminiscent of a single relational database table and verbose syntax for expressing mapping rules when transforming spreadsheet content...
