A Transformation from RDF Documents and Schemas to Relational Databases

At present, resource description framework (RDF) documents and schemas (RDFS) are used to describe information in the semantic Web. Many research works regard the RDF/RDFS documents as databases and proposed data manipulations for them. This research paper takes a different approach. In order to easily manipulate the database, RDF/RDFS documents are transformed into relational database format so that relational languages, data management and business intelligence facilities which are readily available can be exploited. A conceptual meta schema that describes RDF/RDFS documents and the corresponding meta table are presented together with illustrated examples.
