Hi all, As many of you may know, W3C has been working on a standard mapping language for database-to-RDF mappings called R2RML.
R2RML addresses the same need as the D2RQ mapping language, but has the potential to become a standard that is implemented by many if not all vendors in this area. I am serving as one of the editors of this specification. http://www.w3.org/TR/r2rml/ Today R2RML is going to Last Call, which means it is ready for public review and W3C invites comments from the public. The document is here: I think that the spec could benefit a lot from feedback, comments and reviews by the members of the D2RQ community. If you have any opinions on the features and design of the D2RQ mapping language, then please take some time to have a look and send comments! For example: - Are all features that you consider essential present in R2RML? - Is the purpose of R2RML clearly communicated in the spec? - Does the spec work as an introduction to the R2RML language? - How does the spec compare to the D2RQ mapping language documentation in terms of ease of understanding? - Where would you like to see more examples, figures, informative explanations? Comments are invited to the mailing list [email protected] . The comment period ends on November 1. W3C also published the “Direct Mapping of Relational Data to RDF”: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdb-direct-mapping/ This document specifies a “default mapping” from databases to RDF, much like the RDF mapping created by D2RQ's generate-mapping script. Comments on this document are also highly welcome and should be sent to the same mailing list.
