> This is the 2nd Last Call Working Draft transition announcement for the
> following Recommendation Track specifications:
> 
> Document Title: 'A Direct Mapping of Relational Data to RDF'
> URI: http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-rdb-direct-mapping-20120529/

> 
> Document Title: 'R2RML: RDB to RDF Mapping Language'
> URI: http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-r2rml-20120529/

> 
> The 2nd Last Call has been made necessary by some minor issues that have
> arisen during the (otherwise successful) Candidate Recommendation phase.
> The main changes on the documents are:
> 
> - binary SQL values are now mapped to xsd:hexBinary instead of
> xsd:base64Binary
> - the prohibition of unnamed columns in rr:sqlQuery has been relaxed
> - the notion of an R2RML default mapping generator was added in order to
> better describe R2RML's relationship to the Direct Mapping specification
> - the Direct Mapping %-escaping rules are now compatible with R2RML, and
> the delimiter characters have been changed to one that are safe under these
> rules ('.' is changed for ';' and '-' is changed for '=')
> 
> 1. Instructions for providing feedback

> If you wish to make comments regarding this specification please send  them to
