Transforming XML to RDF(S) with Temporal Information

The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a model for representing resources on the Web. With the widespread acceptance of RDF in various applications (e.g., knowledge graph), a huge amount of RDF data is being proliferated. Therefore, transforming legacy data resources into RDF data is of increasing importance. In addition, time information widely exists in various real-world applications and temporal Web data has been represented and managed in the context of temporal XML. In this paper, we concentrate on transformation of temporal XML (eXtensible Markup Language) to temporal RDF data. We propose the mapping rules and mapping algorithms which can transform the temporal XML Schema and document into temporal RDF Schema and temporal RDF triples, respectively. We illustrate our mapping approach with an example and implement a prototype system. It is demonstrated that our mapping approach is valid

Temporal RDF(S) Data Storage and Query with HBase

Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a metadata model recommended by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for describing the Web resources. With the arrival of the era of Big Data, very large amounts of RDF data are continuously being created and need to be stored for management. The traditional centralized RDF storage models cannot meet the need of largescale RDF data storage. Meanwhile, the importance of temporal information management and processing has been acknowledged by academia and industry. In this paper, we propose a storage model to store temporal RDF based on HBase. The proposed storage model applies the built-in time mechanism of HBase. Our experiments on LUBM dataset with temporal information added show that our storage model can store large temporal RDF data and obtain good query efficiency
