An Approach to Characterizing RDF Documents through Conceptual Schemas
Abstract
A suitable storage model for RDF depends on a set of data characteristics and the knowledgment of its schema. This paper aims to contribute in this context on providing a method to extract conceptual schemas from RDF documents. The goal is to characterize an RDF data structure through an entity-relationship schema and its constructors. The proposed method is evaluated by a case study which demonstrates that the conceptual schemas generated are valid according to the model proposed by a benchmark for RDF.
