All,

Continuing with the Linked Data theme from the prior gathering, Huajun 
Chen (Zhejiang University, China) will be demonstrating how to:

1. Visually generate declarative mappings of SQL to RDF
2.  Deploying the SQL-RDF as Linked Data (i.e. the URL rewrite rules 
that map to SPARQL DESCRIBE calls on the Linked Data Server side)
3. Use of XMLA to deliver ODBC/JDBC  style SQL database connectivity 
from Javascript

All of the above happens within your Web Browser. And as is the case 
with ODBC/JDBC/ADO.NET/OLE-DB style data access via Drivers/Providers, 
you only require an XMLA Tabular Data Provider for the backend data 
access, that's it.

This entire effort is very much in line with the W3C's newly constituted 
RDB2RDF Interest Group <http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/rdb2rdf/>.
