Re: Linked Data Aspects of R2RML

Hi Juan,
a URI in Linked Data principles must be dereferenciable.
Your example was good for "Breakfast at Tiffany's" you can use the dbpedia URI
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Breakfast_at_Tiffany%27s_%28film%29
or an OKKAM Id for Breakfast at Tiffany's.

If a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" OKKAM id does not exist you can create
it and then use it.
The advantage of creating an OKKAM profile for  "Breakfast at
Tiffany's" is that you can refer to other sources where the entity has
been described for example  in other knowledge bases (ex. dbpedia) or
other sources (ex. your database). This can be done by setting a field
called alternative ID in the OKKAM profile which point for example to
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Breakfast_at_Tiffany%27s_%28film%29 or to
your LegacydbName/tableName/ColumnName. You can set as many
alternativeID as you like.
In this way it's possible to aggregate data which come from different
sources through a OKKAM id.
If you  are interested I can tell you more about the process about how
to automatically create an entity profile for an entity contained in a
record....(many entities can be contained in a record...).

Best,
Angela.
