Abstract

This document defines the procedures and rules to be applied when converting tabular data into RDF. Tabular data may be complemented with metadata annotations that describe its structure, the meaning of its content and how it may form part of a collection of interrelated tabular data. This document specifies the effect of this metadata on the resulting RDF.

2. Conformance

As well as sections marked as non-normative, all authoring guidelines, diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative. Everything else in this specification is normative.

The key words MAY , MUST , and SHOULD are to be interpreted as described in [ RFC2119 ].

hyperlink
A hyperlink is underlined and in blue.
[ [reference] delete: </a> reference insert: </a> ]
A document reference (normative or informative) is enclosed in square brackets and links to the references section.
Note

Notes are in light green boxes with a green left border and with a "Note" header in green. Notes are normative or informative depending on the whether they are in a normative or informative section, respectively.

Example 1
 Examples are in light khaki boxes, with khaki left border, and with a numbered "Example" header in khaki. Examples are always informative. The content of the example is in monospace font and may be syntax colored.

4.2 Generating RDF

A conformant RDF conversion application MUST emit triples conforming to those described in this algorithm according to the chosen mode of conversion: delete: <a title="standard mode" href="#dfn-standard-mode" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-standard-mode" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> standard or delete: <a title="minimal mode" href="#dfn-minimal-mode" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-minimal-mode" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> minimal .

Unless specified otherwise, the steps in the algorithm defined herein apply to both delete: <a title="standard mode" href="#dfn-standard-mode" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-standard-mode" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> standard and delete: <a title="minimal mode" href="#dfn-minimal-mode" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-minimal-mode" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> minimal modes.

No Unicode normalization (as specified in [ UAX15 ]) is applied to these string values during the conversion to RDF.

Note

If a CSV file is originally encoded as UTF-8, it should not go through Unicode normalization during parsing, nor in conversion to RDF. This can result in RDF literals that are not in Normal Form C as they should be according to [ rdf11-concepts ].

In the case of rdf:langString , the appropriate language tag (as defined in [ rdf11-concepts ]) MUST be provided for the string, based on the value of delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-data-model-20150716/#dfn-cell-value-language" class="externalDFN"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-data-model-20151117/#dfn-language" class="externalDFN"> cell value's language . (See section on Graph Literals in [ rdf11-concepts ] for further details on language tagged literals.)

Note

According to [ rdf11-concepts ] language tags cannot be combined with any other xsd datatypes. If a cell has any datatype other datatype than string , the value of lang MUST be ignored. Also, all literals have a datatype; however, specific serializations, like Turtle [ turtle ], MAY provide a special syntax for literals with datatype xsd:string or rdf:langString .

5. Inclusion of provenance information

This section is non-normative.

In addition to the namespaces defined above , the following namespace is used in this section:

prov :
http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#

Conversion applications MAY include provenance information in the RDF output describing how and when the output was created; e.g., using terms from the PROV Ontology [ prov-o ]. Information that may be of interest to downstream applications includes:

In order to faciliate the provision of facilitate providing such information, this specification introduces two instances of prov:Role :

csvw:csvEncodedTabularData
Defines the role of the source tabular data file.
csvw:tabularMetadata
Defines the role of the metadata description file.
An illustrative example of provenance information is provided below in Turtle [ turtle ] syntax, the conversion application used is identified as http://example.org/my-csv2rdf-application :
Example 2 : http://example.org/prov-example.ttl
  @prefix   csvw   :     <   http   :   //www.w3.org/ns/csvw#> .     @prefix   prov   :     <   http   :   //www.w3.org/ns/prov#> .     @prefix   xsd   :     <   http   :   //www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .     <>   prov   :   wasGeneratedBy   [   a prov   :   Activity     ;   prov   :   wasAssociatedWith   <   http   :   //example.org/my-csv2rdf-application> ;   prov   :   startedAtTime   "2015-02-13T15:12:44"   ^^   xsd   :   dateTime   ;   prov   :   endedAtTime   "2015-02-13T15:12:46"   ^^   xsd   :   dateTime   ;   prov   :   qualifiedUsage   [   a prov   :   Usage     ;   prov   :   entity   <   http   :   //example.org/csv/data.csv> ;   prov   :   hadRole csvw   :   csvEncodedTabularData   ];   prov   :   qualifiedUsage   [   a prov   :   Usage     ;   prov   :   entity   <   http   :   //example.org/csv/data.csv-metadata.json> ,     <   http   :   //example.org/csv/csv-metadata.json> ;   prov   :   hadRole csvw   :   tabularMetadata   ];     ]  

6. JSON-LD to RDF

This section defines a mechanism for transforming the [ json-ld ] delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-metadata-20150716/#json-ld-dialect"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-metadata-20151117/#json-ld-dialect"> dialect used for delete: <a href="#dfn-non-core-annotations" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-non-core-annotations" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> non-core annotations and delete: <a href="#dfn-notes" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-notes" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> notes originating from the processing of metadata (as defined in [ tabular-metadata ]) into RDF in a manner consistent with the Deserialize JSON-LD to RDF Algorithm defined in [ json-ld-api ]. Converters MAY use any algorithm which results in equivalent triples.

Note

Conversion applications may have other means to create delete: <a title="annotated table" href="#dfn-annotated-table" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-annotated-table" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> annotated tables , e.g., e.g. through some application specific API-s. APIs. In such cases the exact format for non-core annotations or notes may be different. Specifications for such annotation processes should specify how these annotations should be are converted into RDF.

Given a subject , property and value in delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-metadata-20150716/#dfn-normalization" class="externalDFN"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-metadata-20151117/#normalization" class="externalDFN"> normalized form:

  1. Property is a term defined in the [ csvw-context ], a delete: <a href="#dfn-prefixed-name" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-prefixed-name" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> prefixed name , or an absolute URL; expand to an absolute URL by replacing a term with the URI from the term definition in [ csvw-context ] or a delete: <a href="#dfn-prefixed-name" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-prefixed-name" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> prefixed name as described in delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-metadata-20150716/#names-of-common-properties"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-metadata-20151117/#names-of-common-properties"> Names of Common Properties in [ tabular-metadata ].
  2. If value is an array, generate RDF by running this algorithm using subject , property using each array member as value .
  3. If value is an object containing @value , create an RDF Literal lit using the string value of @value and language from @language , or datatype from @type if present, expanding @type as necessary using the procedure outlined for property , and emit the following triple:
    subject
    delete: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> node subject
    predicate
    property
    object
    delete: <a href="#dfn-literal-node" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-literal-node" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> literal node lit
    Note

    If neither @language nor @type is present, the literal lit has the datatype xsd:string .

  4. Else, if value is an object:
    1. Establish a new delete: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> node S from that is identified with the value of @id , if it exists, and new delete: <a href="#dfn-blank-node" class="internalDFN"> defined, or else as a insert: <a href="#dfn-blank-node" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> blank node otherwise , and emit the following triple:
      subject
      delete: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> node subject
      predicate
      delete: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> node property
      object
      delete: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> node S
    2. For every value of @type , either a term defined in the [ csvw-context ], a delete: <a href="#dfn-prefixed-name" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-prefixed-name" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> prefixed name , or an absolute URL; establish a new node T i by expanding the value to an absolute URL by replacing a term with the URI from the term definition in [ csvw-context ] or a delete: <a href="#dfn-prefixed-name" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-prefixed-name" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> prefixed name with its expanded value. For each T i , emit the following triple:
      subject
      delete: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> node S
      predicate
      rdf:type
      object
      delete: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> node T i
    3. For every key and val from value that does not start with @ ( U+0040 ) generate RDF by running this algorithm using S for subject , key for property and val for value .
  5. Else, establish lit as an RDF Literal as follows:
    1. If value is true or false , create an RDF Literal lit using the strings "true" or "false", accordingly with datatype xsd:boolean .
    2. Else, if value is a JSON number with a non-zero fractional part, create an RDF Literal lit using the canonical representation for value with datatype xsd:double .
    3. Else, if value is a JSON number with no non-zero fractional part, create an RDF Literal lit using the canonical representation for value with datatype xsd:integer .
    4. Otherwise, create an RDF Literal lit using the canonical representation for value with datatype xsd:string .

    Emit the following triple:

    subject
    delete: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-node" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> node subject
    predicate
    property
    object
    delete: <a href="#dfn-literal-node" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-literal-node" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> literal node lit

7. Examples

This section is non-normative.

In addition to the namespaces defined above , the examples provided here make use of the following namespaces:

dc :
http://purl.org/dc/terms/
foaf :
http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/
oa :
http://www.w3.org/ns/oa#
org :
http://www.w3.org/ns/org#
schema :
http://schema.org/

Furthermore, these examples also make use of the Turtle syntax @base declaration (as defined in [ turtle ]). Where a single tabular data file is used in the example, the @base declaration is set to the URL of that tabular data file.

Note

Each of the examples expresses more complex conversions - it is recommended that readers of this specification work through the examples in sequential order.

7.1 Simple example

7.3 Example with single table and using virtual columns to produce multiple subjects per row

This example uses a single delete: <a title="annotated table" href="#dfn-annotated-table" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-annotated-table" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> annotated table describing a listing of music events. Each delete: <a href="#dfn-row" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-row" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> row from the tabular data file corresponds to three resources; the music event itself, the location where that event occurs and the offer to sell tickets for that event. The goal is to convert the CSV content into schema.org markup that a search engine such as Google can use to index music events. Details of how Google expects this information to be structured can be found here .

The input tabular data file, published at http://example.org/events-listing.csv , and the associated metadata description http://example.org/events-listing.csv-metadata.json are provided below:

Note

The CSV to RDF translation is limited to providing one statement, or triple, per delete: <a href="#dfn-column" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-column" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> column in the delete: <a title="annotated table" href="#dfn-annotated-table" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-annotated-table" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> table . The target schema.org markup requires 10 statements to describe each event. As the base tabular data file contains 5 columns, an additional 5 virtual delete: <a title="column" href="#dfn-column" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-column" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> columns have been added in order to provide for the full complement of statements—including the relationships between the 3 resources (event, location, and offer) described by each delete: <a href="#dfn-row" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-row" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> row of the delete: <a title="annotated table" href="#dfn-annotated-table" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-annotated-table" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> table . Note that the delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-data-model-20150716/#dfn-column-virtual" class="externalDFN"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-data-model-20151117/#dfn-virtual" class="externalDFN"> virtual annotation is set to true for these virtual delete: <a title="column" href="#dfn-column" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-column" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> columns .

Furthermore, note that no attempt is made to reconcile between locations or offers that may be associated with more than one event; every delete: <a href="#dfn-row" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-row" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> row in the delete: <a title="annotated table" href="#dfn-annotated-table" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-annotated-table" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> table will create both a new location resource and offer resource in addition to the event resource.

Information about senior roles and junior roles within a government department or organization are published in CSV format by each department. These are validated against a centrally published delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-metadata-20150716/#dfn-schema" class="externalDFN"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-metadata-20151117/#dfn-schema" class="externalDFN"> schema to ensure that all the data published by departments is consistent. Additionally, lists of organizations and professions are also published centrally, providing controlled vocabularies against which departmental submissions are validated.

Information published about junior and senior roles provides summary information for each post within the government department or organization. Whilst the junior role information is anonymous, providing only an indication of the number of full-time-equivalent (FTE) staff occupying a given post, the senior role information specifies the named individual occupying each post. As such, each delete: <a href="#dfn-row" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-row" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> row from the tabular data file describing senior roles corresponds to two resources; the post and the person occupying that post.

This example is concerned only with converting the information provided by each government department or organization not rather than the centrally published information listing organizations and professions.

Note

This example makes extensive use of the example.org domain. As described in [ RFC6761 ], this domain is used for illustrative examples within documentation. In reality, the resources described here with the URL path /gov.uk would be centrally published by the UK Government at, say, the domain data.gov.uk .

Given that these resources are centrally published with an aspiration for reuse, the delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-metadata-20150716/#dfn-schema-description" class="externalDFN"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-metadata-20151117/#dfn-schema-description" class="externalDFN"> schema descriptions have been factored out into separate resources. As such, the top-level metadata description resource metadata.json simply provides the list of delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-data-model-20150716/#dfn-table" class="externalDFN"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-data-model-20151117/#dfn-table" class="externalDFN"> tables and binds each of them to the appropriate delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-metadata-20150716/#dfn-schema" class="externalDFN"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-metadata-20151117/#dfn-schema" class="externalDFN"> schema that is defined elsewhere.

Finally, note that because the centrally published metadata descriptions are intended to be reused across many government departments and organizations, extra consideration has been given to defining URIs for the person and post resources defined in each row of the senior roles tabular data and subsequently referenced from the junior roles tabular data. To ensure that naming clashes are avoided, the unique reference for the organization to which the person or post belongs has been included in a path segment of the identifier. For example, the delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-metadata-20150716/#dfn-uri-template-property"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-metadata-20151117/#dfn-uri-template-properties"> URI template property delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-metadata-20150716/#cell-aboutUrl"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-metadata-20151117/#cell-aboutUrl"> aboutUrl used to identify the senior post is specified as http://example.org/organization/{organizationRef}/post/{ref} , thus yielding the URI http://example.org/organization/hefce.ac.uk/post/90115 for the post described in the first delete: <a href="#dfn-row" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-row" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> row of the senior roles tabular data.

A. Relationship to RDB Direct Mapping

This section is non-normative.

The "Direct Mapping of Relational Data to RDF" W3C Recommendation [ rdb-direct-mapping ] defines a simple transformation (referred to as delete: <dfn id="dfn-direct-mapping"> insert: <dfn data-dfn-type="dfn" id="dfn-direct-mapping"> direct mapping ) from a relational representation of data to RDF. The direct mapping takes as input a relational database (data and schema), and generates an RDF graph called the delete: <dfn id="dfn-direct-graph"> insert: <dfn data-dfn-type="dfn" id="dfn-direct-graph"> direct graph . Tables in a relational databases bear a strong resemblence resemblance to tabular data as defined in [ tabular-data-model ]; this section highlights the similarities and differences between the delete: <a href="#dfn-direct-mapping" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-direct-mapping" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> direct mapping and the delete: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> tabular data mapping defined by this document. The following statements summarize the relationships:

The rest of this section will provide some examples. These are somewhat simplified forms of the examples as used in the [ rdb-direct-mapping ] document.

A.1 Single table case

Consider a simple table in a relational database, called People :

PK
ID fname addr
7 Bob 18

A relational table always has a schema that the delete: <a href="#dfn-direct-mapping" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-direct-mapping" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> direct mapping makes use of. In this example, the schema defines that:

Using the schema information, the delete: <a href="#dfn-direct-graph" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-direct-graph" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> direct graph is as follows (see [ rdb-direct-mapping ] for further details):

Example 25
 <http://foo.example.org/DB/People/ID=7> rdf:type <http://foo.example.org/DB/People>; <http://foo.example.org/DB/People/#ID> 7; <http://foo.example.org/DB/People/#fname> "Bob"; <http://foo.example.org/DB/People/#addr> 18. 

where http://foo.example.org/DB/ is the URL for the database containing the People table.

When exporting the table into CSV the column names would naturally be mapped on the titles of the respective columns. The ( delete: <a title="minimal mode" href="#dfn-minimal-mode" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-minimal-mode" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> minimal ) delete: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> tabular data mapping yields:

Example 26
 [ <http://foo.example.org/CSV/People/#ID> "7"; <http://foo.example.org/CSV/People/#fname> "Bob"; <http://foo.example.org/CSV/People/#addr> "18"; ] 

where http://foo.example.org/CSV/People is the URL of the CSV file exported from the relational database.

Comparing the two conversion results:

It is, however, possible to add annotation to the tabular data so that the two graphs would be semantically equivalent. Indeed, consider the following metadata using the definitions of the [ tabular-metadata ] specification:

Example 27
  {     "@context"   :     "http://www.w3.org/ns/csvw"   ,     "tableSchema"   :     {     "url"     :     "http://foo.example.org/CSV/People"   ,     "aboutUrl"     :     "http://foo.example.org/CSV/People/ID={ID}"   ,     "columns"   :     [{     "name"   :     "ID"   ,     "datatype"     :     "integer"     },     {     "name"   :     "fname"   ,     },     {     "name"   :     "addr"   ,     "datatype"     :     "integer"     },     {     "name"   :     "type"   ,     "virtual"   :     true   ,     "propertyUrl"   :     "rdf:type"   ,     "valueUrl"     :     "http://foo.example.org/CSV/People"     }],     }     }  

The metadata adds annotations on datatypes, adds the RDF typing triple explicitly (using a delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-data-model-20150716/#dfn-virtual-column" class="externalDFN"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-data-model-20151117/#dfn-virtual-columns" class="externalDFN"> virtual column ), and uses the delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-metadata-20150716/#cell-aboutUrl" class="externalDFN"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-metadata-20151117/#cell-aboutUrl" class="externalDFN"> aboutUrl URL template property to provide the common subject. Essentially, the metadata provides the information that the delete: <a href="#dfn-direct-mapping" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-direct-mapping" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> direct mapping retrieves from the table schema.

Note

The [ tabular-metadata ] specification includes an annotation for delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-data-model-20150716/#dfn-row-primary-key" class="externalDFN"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-data-model-20151117/#dfn-primary-key" class="externalDFN"> primary keys . However, that annotation is used for validation and does not influence the delete: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> tabular data mapping , hence it is not included in the example metadata.

Note

A processor exporting the table into a CSV file could also may be able to automatically generate such a the metadata automatically. to complement the CSV file.

A.2 Simple, two table case

Consider a two interrelated simple tables in a relational database, called People and Addresses , respectively:

PK → Addresses(ID)
ID fname addr
7 Bob 18
PK
ID city state
18 Cambridge MA

Beyond what is already specified for the People table the corresponding relational schema also specifies that:

Using the schema information, the delete: <a href="#dfn-direct-graph" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-direct-graph" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> direct graph is as follows (see [ rdb-direct-mapping ] for further details):

Example 28
 <http://foo.example.org/DB/People/ID=7> rdf:type <http://foo.example.org/DB/People>; <http://foo.example.org/DB/People#ID> 7; <http://foo.example.org/DB/People#fname> "Bob"; <http://foo.example.org/DB/People#addr> 18;  <http://foo.example.org/DB/People#ref-addr> <http://foo.example.org/DB/Addresses/ID=18>  . <http://foo.example.org/DB/Addresses/ID=18> rdf:type <http://foo.example.org/DB/Addresses>; <http://foo.example.org/DB/Addresses#ID> 18; <http://foo.example.org/DB/Addresses#city> "Cambridge"; <http://foo.example.org/DB/Addresses#state> "MA". 

Note the highlighted RDF triple linking to the relevant row of the Addresses table; this corresponds to the foreign key in the schema.

Using the following metadata the delete: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> tabular data mapping yields a semantically equivalent result:

Example 29
  {     "@context"   :     "http://www.w3.org/ns/csvw"   ,     "resources"     :     [{     "url"   :     "http://foo.example.org/CSV/People"   ,     "aboutUrl"     :     "http://foo.example.org/CSV/People/ID={ID}"   ,     "tableSchema"   :     {     "columns"   :     [{     "name"   :     "ID"   ,     "datatype"   :     "integer"     },     {     "name"   :     "fname"   ,     },     {     "name"   :     "addr"   ,     "datatype"   :     "integer"     },     {     "name"   :     "ref"   ,     "virtual"   :     true   ,     "propertyUrl"   :     "http://foo.example.org/CSV/People#ref-addr"   ,     "valueUrl"     :     "http://foo.example.org/CSV/Addresses/ID={addr}"     },     {     "name"   :     "type"   ,     "virtual"   :     true   ,     "propertyUrl"   :     "rdf:type"   ,     "valueUrl"     :     "http://foo.example.org/CSV/People"     }],     }     },     {     "url"   :     "http://foo.example.org/CSV/Addresses"   ,     "aboutUrl"     :     "http://foo.example.org/CSV/Addresses/ID={ID}"   ,     "tableSchema"   :     [{     "columns"   :     [{     "name"   :     "ID"   ,     "datatype"   :     "integer"     },     {     "name"   :     "city"   ,     },     {     "name"   :     "state"   ,     },     {     "name"   :     "type"   ,     "virtual"   :     true   ,     "propertyUrl"   :     "rdf:type"   ,     "valueUrl"     :     "http://foo.example.org/CSV/Addresses"     }],     }]     }  

A.3 More complex example with three tables

Consider a case with three, interrelated simple tables in a relational database, called People , Addresses , and Departments , respectively:

PK → Addresses(ID) → Department(name,city)
ID fname addr deptName deptCity
7 Bob 18 accounting Cambridge
PK
ID city state
18 Cambridge MA
PK Unique Key
ID name city
23 accounting Cambridge

The corresponding relational schema specifies that that:

Using the schema information, the delete: <a href="#dfn-direct-graph" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-direct-graph" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> direct graph is as follows (see [ rdb-direct-mapping ] for further details):

Example 30
delete: <pre class="example"> insert: <pre class="example" id="example-rdb-direct-mapping-output">
 <http://foo.example.org/DB/People/ID=7> rdf:type <http://foo.example.org/DB/People>; <http://foo.example.org/DB/People/#ID> 7; <http://foo.example.org/DB/People/#fname> "Bob"; <http://foo.example.org/DB/People/#addr> 18; <http://foo.example.org/DB/People/#ref-addr> <http://foo.example.org/DB/Addresses/ID=18>; <http://foo.example.org/DB/People/#deptName> "accounting"; <http://foo.example.org/DB/People/#deptCity> "Cambridge";  <http://foo.example.org/DB/People/#ref-deptName;deptCity> <http://foo.example.org/DB/Department/ID=23>.  <http://foo.example.org/DB/Addresses/ID=18> rdf:type <http://foo.example.org/DB/Addresses>; <http://foo.example.org/DB/Addresses/#ID> 18; <http://foo.example.org/DB/Addresses/#city> "Cambridge"; <http://foo.example.org/DB/Addresses/#addr> "MA". <http://foo.example.org/DB/Departments/ID=23> rdf:type <http://foo.example.org/DB/Addresses>; <http://foo.example.org/DB/Departments/#ID> 23; <http://foo.example.org/DB/Departments/#name> "accounting"; <http://foo.example.org/DB/Departments/#city> "Cambridge". 

The major difference, compared to the simpler example with foreign keys is the usage of unique keys. insert: </p>

insert: <p>

To generate the right correct object URI in the highlighted statement of the delete: <a href="#dfn-direct-graph" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-direct-graph" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> direct graph ( insert: <a href="#example-rdb-direct-mapping-output"> above insert: </a> ) the processor has to: insert: </p>

insert: <ol>
    insert: <li>
  1. Extract the values of columns insert: <code> deptName insert: </code> and insert: <code> deptCity insert: </code> for the current row in the insert: <code> People insert: </code> table in order to find that determine the value of the compound unique key combination to the insert: <code> Departments insert: </code> table for that row. insert: </li>
  2. insert: <li>
  3. Find the associated row in the Departments table and, using that combination, has to establish matches that compound unique key value and determine the subject for that specific row that can is to be used as an object URI in the highlighted statement. row. insert: </li>
  4. insert: </ol>
insert: <p>

This can be done because the delete: <a href="#dfn-direct-mapping" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-direct-mapping" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> direct mapping processor has simultaneous access to several tables within the same relational database. It is therefore straightforward to access all the tables in parallel and establish the necessary relationships to generate the triples.

However, this combination cannot be handled by the delete: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> tabular data mapping . The situation for tabular data is indeed different: tables are typically generated from single and, potentially, very large CSV files, meaning that a delete: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> tabular data mapping processor cannot be expected to handle several tables in parallel. That is the reason why the [ tabular-data-model ] does not include features that would require such parallel access. However, as As a consequence, the output of the delete: <a href="#dfn-direct-mapping" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-direct-mapping" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> direct mapping for such tables cannot be reproduced by the delete: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> tabular data mapping .

Note

Note that the [ tabular-data-model ] includes an annotation for delete: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-tabular-metadata-20150716/#transformation-definitions"> insert: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-tabular-metadata-20151117/#transformation-definitions"> transformations ; implementations may include scripts or templates to transform the output of the delete: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN"> insert: <a href="#dfn-tabular-data-mapping" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn"> tabular data mapping and generate the required RDF graph.
