There are several common problems: (1) not all tables are appropriate for
this simple approach; (2) more complexity is introduced when considering
a set of interlinked tables; and (3) selecting class and property terms from
existing ontologies can be a challenge for many.  Lushan Han's [1] work on
RDF123 [2,3] addressed some of these problems and his current PhD research is
focused on some of the others.
