At the current time we have complete Rdf2Rdb examples for the sample databases associated with the following DBMS engines: 1. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VirtRDFViewsOracleHrDb - Oracle (HR DD) 2. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VirtRDFViewsDB2SampleDb - DB2 (Sample DB) 3. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VirtRDFViewNorthwind - SQL Server (Northwind DB) 4. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VirtRDFViewsInformixStoresDemo - Informix (Stores DB) 5. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VirtRDFViewsIngresTutDb - Ingres (Tutorial DB) 6. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VirtRDFViewsProgressSQ92ISports - Progress 7. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VirtRDFViewsSybasePubs2Db - Sybase (Pubs2) As you know, the DBMS communities consistently use the default demonstration databases as ground-zero for all tutorial material. Thus, as part of a broader effort to engage the RDBMS community in general, we should include mappings examples based on each of the above. Ideally, their should be Triplify and D2RQ variants of what we've done to balance out this effort. When a person from any of the DBMS realms above poses the question: What does Rdb2Rdf facilitate above and beyond what SQL currently offers, there should be a set of pages in place that demonstrate the fundamental point: record-level data access by reference using HTTP based Identifiers. An example of such pages: 1. http://demo.openlinksw.com/about/html/http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI%23this - Page about "ALFKI" an Entity in the Northwind Database 2. http://data.openlinksw.com/about/html/http://data.openlinksw.com/oplweb/product_release/virtuoso-uim-unisvr-ent/5.0/x86_64-sun-solaris2.10-64/virt50%23this - Page about a specific release of Virtuoso for the Solaris x86_64 platform . Happy New Year! -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen President& CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com
