RESOLUTION: minutes from last telecon accepted

ACTION review

Ashok: next week is TPAC

<soeren> http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/wiki/images/6/6d/Triplify.pdf

<soeren> that's the triplify presentation

<hhalpin> +1 to skipping telecon next week.

<hhalpin> Then we also get to reconfigure time today.

yes, indeed

ACTION-8?

<hhalpin> Notes "The mapping language MUST define the set of relational algebra to be supported in the first release. This set to be supported SHOULD be as complete as possible and be defined as soon as possible after the WG official launch."

<hhalpin> I expect that we should have Marcelo give a presentation on his work on formal semantics ASAP after we're done with the implementation overviews.

T+4: Requirements and Use Cases for the RDB2RDF Mapping Language (R2RML)

Presentation of Triplify

slides see http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/wiki/images/6/6d/Triplify.pdf

<Souri> About the requirements 'SHOULD' portion: What is "human-readable"? Is SQL query human-readable?

soeren: our group works on couple of tools (DL Learner, etc.) as well as onTriplify

slide 2

TriplifyBig Picture

slide 3

motivation

many DB-backed applications

idea: when we're able to RDFise the content of these DB, we gain quite a bit - Web of Data

most of the tools are OSS, should be easy to integrate

slide 4

configure once, use often

slide 5

solution: uses SQL to transform

extends SQL with some syntactic constructs

maps URI patterns to set of SQL patterns

according to the Linked Data principles

slide 6

Ashok: will you talk about the extensions?

soeren: yes
... just some conventions, actually
... few tables anyway, no automatic generation, hence
... conventions, such as first col must be an ID, the col name should refer to RDF properties

Souri: conceptual mapping or materialising?

soeren: view

slide 7

soeren: here is an example mapping a WP blog post

http://blog.aksw.org/triplify/post/(xxx)

SELECT id, post_authorAS 'sioc:has_creator->user',

post_title AS 'dc:title',

post_content AS 'sioc:content', post_date AS

'dcterms:modified^^xsd:dateTime‘,

post_modified AS 'dcterms:created^^xsd:dateTime'

FROM posts

WHERE post_status='publish‘ (ANDid=xxx)

Souri: we took the same approach
... our work was so far only internally
... there are two approaches to address the datatype

soeren: needed to overwrite the default (Triplify supports both)

Souri: I think we need a consistency check - explicit might be more benfical

slide 8

shows the actual RDF conversion

slide 9

summarises the implementation of Triplify

design principle is KISS

no new mapping language (SQL is used)

available for popular languages

works with most DBs

slide 10

an example of an WP blog configuration

nine queries

slide 11

we offer a configuration repository

slide 12

slide 13

two extensions

a temporal extension

address the 'when to crawl data'

slide 14

shows how this works in Triplify

Michael: would be good to know the update voc URI

slide 15

LOD update log generation

<Souri> LOD means ???

slide 16

Linked Open Data

Spatial Extension

<Souri> Thanks.

yw

see linkeddata.org

soeren: used the spatial extension to create linked data version of OpenStreetMap

slide 17

example from http://linkedgeodata.org/

Souri: which query interface do you support?

soeren: based on URIs

skip to slide 19

RDB2RDF tool comparison

Triplify, D2R and Virtuoso views

slide 20

soeren: Triplifysupports the “long tail” of deployed Web applications
... that's it - questions?

<soeren> http://www2009.eprints.org/63/

Ashok: license?

soeren: it's OSS
... more background on Triplify see WWW paper above, will send to list and update Wiki
