Qadeer,
1. Do we need to create Ontology for our data structures and then migrate data from our current DB to triple store? Yes for part a, no for part b. 2. Can we keep our current RDBMS and use Ontology (tripple store) as an added layer? Yes. See for example R2RML. 3. If there is an advantage of using 1 over 2 or vice versa? Trade-off of performance, convenience, maintainability of legacy systems. 4. Is there an example or case study for some one has gone through a similar situation. I'm not an expert on specific case studies, so I will defer to others on this. - Steve From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Qadeer Khan Sent: Friday, March 23, 2012 8:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [topbraid-users] Some basic questions about implementing Ontology Hello all, Recently we are asked to look into using Ontology as it is becoming a big buzzword in DoD for our project and I am not sure as how and where we can start and also to justify. Here is the scenario we are in: Ours is a service orineted architecure where we get data from several sources and store it in SQLServer RDMBS (not tripple store). Into the database and out of the database we have web services to consume and expose data ( rudimentary explanation of our architecture) Now we need to see how can we leverage the ontology concepts. 1. Do we need to create Ontology for our data structures and then migrate data from our current DB to triple store? 2. Can we keep our current RDBMS and use Ontology (tripple store) as an added layer? 3. If there is an advantage of using 1 over 2 or vice versa? 4. Is there an example or case study for some one has gone through a similar situation. I appologize in advance ifor my minimal knowledge about this realm of Ontology... Appreciate any response on this..
