NAME

RDF::RDB2RDF::R2RML - map relational database to RDF using R2RML

SYNOPSIS

 my $mapper = RDF::RDB2RDF->new('R2RML', $r2rml);
 print $mapper->process_turtle($dbh);

DESCRIPTION

This class offers support for W3C R2RML, based on the 20 Sept 2011 working draft. See the BUGS section below for a list on unimplemented areas.

This is a subclass of RDF::RDB2RDF::Simple. Differences noted below...

Constructor

• RDF::RDB2RDF::R2RML->new($r2rml)

• RDF::RDB2RDF->new('R2RML', $r2rml)

  A single parameter is expected, this can either be an R2RML document as a Turtle string, or an RDF::Trine::Model containing R2RML data. If a Turtle string, then the namespaces from it are also kept.

Methods

• process_turtle($dbh, %options)

  The mapping is included as an R2RML comment at the top of the Turtle. Passing no_r2rml => 1 can disable that feature.

BUGS

Limitations

• rr:RefObjectMap, rr:parentTriplesMap, rr:joinCondition, rr:JoinCondition, rr:child, rr:parent are only partially working.

• rr:defaultGraph is not understood.

• Datatype conversions probably not done correctly.
