I see that the process of generating an RDF view on an existing SQL-based table structure is generated by a mapping file. Is the mapping process documented? Ie, how difficult would it be to generate a mapping by hand based upon custom requirements?
Once you understand how the relations rows morph into data objects, and now their fields become attributes, and fkeys become relationship attributes (or associations), you can productively perform one of the following:

1. Generate initial via Wizard and edit by hand
2. Write the whole mapping by hand or make your own generator

You can make ontologies and inference rules etc.. post 1&2 which ultimately up the ante re. power of this sort of cross realm mapping (i.e. RDBMS to RDF-Graph).
