Abstract

Most data in industry still resides in relational databases (RDB) but Semantic web uses standard RDF and OWL formats. We consider a previously developed mapping language RDB2OWL allowing compact and end-user readable mapping specification. We describe the RDB2OWL implementation by translation into R2RML standard language that avoids the view rowset multiplication due to several 1-To-n relations from a single class in the ontology.
