Abstract:
The relational database (RDB) to resource description framework (RDF) transformation is a major semantic information extraction method because most web data are managed by RDBs. Existing automatic RDB-to-RDF transformation methods generate RDF data without losing the semantics of original relational data. However, two major problems have been observed during the mapping of multi-column key constraints: repetitive data generation and semantic information loss. In this article, we propose an improved RDB-to-RDF transformation method that ensures mapping without the aforementioned problems. Optimised rules are defined to generate an accurate semantic data structure for a multi-column key constraint and to reduce repetitive constraint data. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better accuracy in transforming multi-column key constraints and generates compact semantic results without repetitive data.
