ISSUE-20: Allow a predicate/object map to reference a joined table.

predicate/object refer to joined table

Allow a predicate/object map to reference a joined table.

State:
POSTPONED
Product:
R2RML
Raised by:
David McNeil
Opened on:
2011-02-01
Description:
Allow a predicate/object map to reference a joined table.

RefPredicateObjectMaps allow the logical tables under TriplesMaps to be "joined". But they do not allow the expressions used to compute the predicate or
object to refer to the parent's logical table.

This can be worked around by creating a new SQL query that performs the necessary join and using this to produce the subject, predicate, and object. However, this requires undesirable copying of the SQL.

This could be addressed by allowing a predicate object map to explicitly
specify a logical table to join to the TriplesMaps logical table.

Related notes:

This issue does not need to be addressed for the imminent publication of an updated draft of the R2RML spec.

There are a couple of examples of this scenario in the email thread from January: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdb2rdf-wg/2011Jan/0075.html

I still believe this to be an odd aspect of the current spec. However, I don't think it will be addressed after R2RML 1.0 via a general SQL composition feature. So I don't think we need to address this at this time.
