An R2RML representation of the DM results for that particular RDB. If we go down that route, it would be worthwhile having an appendix in either the r2rml or the dm document that gives a precise mapping of the dm to r2rml. This should not be left to implementers to be figured out separately. Ivan > Then edit that mapping file.
