R2RML in Turtle

This page gives an example for a proposed RDF serialization of R2RML. It uses the Turtle RDF syntax. This is a direct translation of the example presented for the XML-based proposal.

Raw files

Raw files of this Turtle example and the equivalent XML example are available here:

• http://github.com/cygri/r2rml/raw/master/examples/emp-dept.ttl

Sample relational schema

DEPT table

 deptno  NUMBER       UNIQUE
 dname   VARCHAR2(30)
 loc     VARCHAR2(100)

EMP table

 empno  NUMBER        PRIMARY KEY
 ename  VARCHAR2(100)
 job    VARCHAR2(30)
 deptno NUMBER        REFERENCES DEPT(deptno)
 etype  VARCHAR2(30)

Sample mapping specification

This specification maps the above relational schema to RDF. This example includes:

• rdf:type columns
• destination graphs (either at class-level or at instance-level)
• inverse functions
