Hello everyone,

I know Jena is not exactly made for OBDA, but I guess you could achive
sth. that is very close to what I want to do:
I have an ontology for a process inside the medical domain. The idea is
to use the ontology and query for the instances of data (which are
located inside doc, xls files and a sharepoint). The access to this data
should happen via a GUI where (as an example) you would click on: create
a report. The system I want to create should then find out which data is
needed (as stated in the ontology) and where it is stored and finally
process it to show it in the GUI or wherever.

I see that Jena does support access to triple stores, but I don't
actually want to use the Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) approach, but
instead use mappings and a rewritingsystem to access the data. This is
due to the fact that the data in the sources will be changing constantly
and therefore ETL does not seem fitting for me.

Do you have any recommendations for me? Would that be possible to
implement with Jena? Does it support query rewriting to other sources
other than SQL?

Currently I'm thinking about implementing this with the Ontop framework.

Thanks so much for your valuable input! Happy new year and all the best! :)

Best,
Benedikt
