Re: New members of the group

Dear all

Thanks!
We will try to join the telecon.
Of course we have to read the set of documents generated so far.

Regarding the Use Cases and Requirements draft, I just checked it (a 
quick look), and I, in my humble opinion, have a minor comment  (maybe 
you already discussed this):
- Section 3 Approaches:
As far as I can understand you are considering to map the database 
schema to an ontology, and the database content to ontology instances, 
right?
But, maybe there will be the case of mapping the content of the database 
into an ontology.
For example a database may store a classification of occupations [1] 
that we want to convert to an ontology [2].
is this case out of the scope of the R2RML?

Sorry, if I'm introducing noise in the discussion of the draft.


Regards

Boris
