Is there functionality in Virtuoso for doing ETL from relational data to RDF? I 
looked at RDF Views, but it doesn't seem to be what we want, and there don't 
appear to be any spongers for this purpose. I did find a blog post about the 
subject that seemed to imply that ETL was not the preferred approach in 
Virtuoso.

The reason we want to do this is that we want to expose a big RDBMS as an 
SDshare[1] feed, for aggregation on another server. So, basically, what we need 
is an RDF view of the data (materialized or not) plus information about what 
has been changed in the database recently.

Theoretically, we could just add triggers and changelog tables to the database 
and do it all ourselves, but I was wondering whether there was some way to do 
this with Virtuoso. Anyone have any ideas?
