All, While digesting today's minutes, I came across the terms: Data Source Ontology and Domain Ontology. Although this isn't the first time I've encountered these terms (since I've met Prakash at our month Semantic Web Gatherings a few times), I would like to acknowledge that these terms should become vital parts of the RDB2 RDF lexicon for the following reasons: 1. Historic links to related realms e.g. in the early '90's NeXT developed an Objective-C based mapping layer called EOF (Enterprise Object Frameworks) the enabled RDBMS to Objective-C mapping via what is Prakash calls a "Domain Ontology" generated from the source RDBMS schema 2. Contemporary links to related realms e.g., Microsoft offers Enterprise Object Frameworks as its .NET based mechanism for RDBMS to .NET based Entity mapping via an Entity Model Generator (EDM) that also produces a "Domain Ontology". Prakash/Mike: Thanks for the introduction of these terms. I believe they will greatly aid the messaging aspect of the RDB2RDF effort, amongst other things :-) Links: 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_Objects_Framework 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADO.NET_Entity_Framework -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com
