Semantic mapping relational to graph model

Abstract

Making data to be more connected is one of the goals of Semantic Technology. Therefore, relational data model as one of important data resource type, is needed to be mapped and converted to graph model. In this paper we focus in mapping and converting without semantically loss, by considering semantic abstraction of the real world, which has been ignored in some previous researches. As a graph schema model, it can be implemented in graph database or linked data in RDF/OWL format. This approach studies that relationship should be paid more attention in mapping and converting because, often be found a gap semantic abstraction during those processes. In our small experiment shows that our idea can map and convert relational model to graph model without semantically loss.
