W3C Invites Comments on First Draft of Use Cases and Requirements for Mapping Relational Databases to RDF

Author(s) and publish date

Published:: 8 June 2010

The RDB2RDF Working Group has published the First Public Working Draft of Use Cases and Requirements for Mapping Relational Databases to RDF. The need to share data with collaborators motivates custodians and users of relational databases (RDB) to expose relational data on the Web of Data. This document examines a set of use cases from science and industry, taking relational data and exposing it in patterns conforming to shared RDF schemata. These use cases expose a set of functional requirements for exposing relational data as RDF in the RDB2RDF Mapping Language (R2RML). Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.
