[ANN] D2RQ v0.8 released

We're proud to announce the release of D2RQ v0.8.

D2RQ is an open-source system for database-to-RDF mapping. It makes the contents of relational databases accessible as SPARQL endpoints, as Linked Data, and as RDF dumps.

New features in this version include preliminary SPARQL 1.1 support, Firebird support, generation of RDFS/OWL schemas for databases, and download maps for making the content of CLOB/BLOB columns accessible via HTTP. Datatype compatibility with Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server and HSQLDB has been greatly improved, and many bugs have been fixed. See [2] for the full list of changes.

You can download the latest release from GitHub [3].

The release incorporates patches submitted by several contributors:

- Jacobus Geluk
- Giovanni Mels
- Olaf Hartig
- Hannes Mühleisen
- David Venable
- Kurt Jacobson
- Bob Ferris
- Jan-Gregor Fischer

Work on this release has been possible thanks to the support of UCB. It's part of an ongoing collaboration between DERI and UCB - see [4] for more information.

All the best,
Richard and Aftab
