SemTech2010questions
From RDB2RDF
Draft questions for speakers (taken from discussion minutes on June 16).
- What are the use-cases of RDB2RDF (question to panelists so they can review/announce use-case document?)
- What current approaches are out there? (Each panellist should introduce their current approach)
- Why should a standard make a difference?
- What is the schedule for the first release of a draft standard?
- What open questions are there in the standard? (very general, some examples below)
- In particular, would you prefer a more XML or turtle-like serialization?
- Should we have one or many serializations?
- Should SPARQL Constructs, SQL Views, RIF or some other approach be used to transform relational data to RDF?
- If SQL, how can we determine what precisely does it mean to use "SQL" - do we mean a subset? How can we precisely identify that subset?
- If SPARQL Construct is used, then is that expressive enough? What about SPARQL 1.1?
- Is the community familiar enough with RIF for it to be used? Should it be used explicitly in the syntax, or just kept to the semantics?
- What should be used as the basics of the semantics? RIF? Datalog? Does it matter?
- What is the best way to deal with extensibility, particularly for vendor specific data-types and extensions to SQL?
