This tutorial will introduce participants to mapping Relational Databases to RDF (RDB2RDF). We will present the two new, interrelated and complementary W3C standards, “Direct Mapping of Relational Data to RDF” and “R2RML: RDB to RDF Mapping Language”. Furthermore we will contrast and explain the preferred solution organizations embodies by these two standards. The suitability of each approach will be characterized by both architectural concerns and the skill sets that exist in the supporting organizations. Architectural aspects include comparing ‘Extract, Transform, Load’ (ETL) of relational data to RDF into a triplestore versus answering SPARQL queries against a live relational database.

Maven of the Month
We are also inviting top experts in AI and Knowledge Technologies to discuss major socio-technological topics with an audience that comprises both members of the Knowledge Media Institute, as well as the wider staff at The Open University. Differently from our seminar series, these events follow a Q&A format.
