CCR to Database

I'm looking for a utility program that inputs CCR
files in XML form and loads them into a relational
DB.  That will be used in writing a second program
which supports data mining and text mining of the
records, after they are in the DB and more
accessible.  The idea is to collect CCR files and
use them to do research into what medical
treatments work best for which conditions.  

 

Does anyone know of such a utility program - the
one that reads CCRs into a relational DB?

 

Suggestions appreciated,

-Rich

This is the best argument i've ever read in favor
of RDF. Fwarding from the lod mailing list as it
may be interesting to the folks scanning this one
and not the other

existing thread, and also for probably saying
things other folks have
already brought up]

I have worked on RDF and systems using RDF for
over 15 years now (and on
RDF's "non-Web" predecessors before that). The
most important thing I have
learned is that while it is possible to do Linked
Data and Semantic Web
stuff *without* RDF, whatever alternative
technology you choose, you soon
feel compelled to add features that make it look
like RDF. I particularly
see this whenever someone comes to me advocating
the use of JSON. RDF is
what it is for a reason, *not* because we
arbitrarily threw something
together.

So it is not that RDF "looks bad" or whatever
people might be saying. It
is that other technologies and approaches "fall
short" of what Linked Data
and Semantic Web really need. Let's not please
reinvent things or shove a
round peg in a square hole just because someone
prefers curly braces over
angle brackets. Issues like that are not
interesting (at all), and we have
more important things to do.
