Ok sorry, I see now you want to go the other direction.  I saw somewhere
(forget where) the idea that you could do it this way:

A RDF Class represents a Relational Table.
A RDF instance node represents a Relational Record.
The columns in the Relational table are the property arcs on the instance
nodes.

Hope that helps.
