Abstract

RDB2RDF is the process by which a relational database schema (RDB) is transformed into a set of RDF triples. A major step in this process is deciding how to represent database schema concepts in terms of RDF classes and properties. This correlation is described in the RDB2RDF mapping file, which is used as the base for the generation of RDF triples. Most RDB2RDF engines today provide support to the mechanical process of transforming RDB to RDF, each with its own mapping language. Due to this fact, the W3C RDB2RDF Working Group has been working to standardize a language to map relational data to RDF called R2RML. Part of their efforts is directed to fostering the development of methods, tools and techniques to support standard RDB2RDF mapping strategies. In this paper, we introduce an Eclipse plug-in that supports the standard RDB to RDF Mapping Language (R2RML) to produce Direct Mappings in RDF.
