Publishing Linked Data from Relational Databases Using Traditional Views

Many achieves have focused on how to publish Linked Data from the relational databases. However, with current RDB2RDF tools, they showed an unsatisfactory performance because of their inherent gaps between RDF Schema (RDFS) and RDB schema. In this paper, we give a light-weight Linked Data publication mechanism based on the traditional views, which make users retrieve the data from the relational databases as RDF datasets and pose SPARQL queries on the traditional web server. We also give a method which can transform the SPARQL queries into the SQL queries based on Jena ARQ parser. The experiment shows that our approach performs efficiently compared to other RDB2RDF tools.
