Hi ManifoldCF Users (and Devs)
I'm wondering if ManifoldCF can work in my use case. I have some
random mySQL and Oracle DB's that I would like to connect to and
extract certain known bits of info, format them each a certain way and
then store the info in Apache Marmotta [1]. Marmotta is an RDF triple
store for linked data so I would need to parse and store the mySQL and
Oracle DB's info into a linked format, which is no problem for me to
create the relationships etc, I just need something that would let me
specifically do this.
From what I've read, ManifoldCF can connect to mySQL and Oracle
(via non-distributed libraries), and store the results out in several
target data stores. What isn't clear is
(A) How I define the data to grab, whether some SQL statement or the like.
(B) How to use this data as individual variables which I can arrange
into a linked data relationship (ManifoldCF mapping module?)
(C) How difficult would it be to connect to Marmotta's webservice(s).
I'm not familiar with the exact mechanism, but I saw ManifoldCF has
support for elasticsearch so maybe I could put something together that
talks to Marmotta..
Would this be possible? If so, could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
