论文摘要
尽管存在使用语义模型集成异构数据的方法，但现有软件工具通常不能使用此类语义模型。许多软件工具 - 尤其是在工程中 - 仅具有以更具成熟的数据互换格式（例如XML或JSON）导入和导出数据的选项。因此，如果需要在这种软件工具中使用的语义模型中包含的信息，则需要将语义信息映射到互换格式中的自动方法。我们旨在开发一种通用的映射方法，该方法允许用户使用任意结构来创建语义信息转换为数据互换格式，该结构可以由用户定义。目前，这种映射方法正在详细阐述。在此贡献中，我们报告了针对从RDF转换为XML的最初步骤。首先，引入了映射语言，该语言允许将自动映射定义为从本体到XML。此外，还提供了能够执行此语言定义的映射的映射算法。使用用例进行评估，其中需要在3D建模工具中使用工程信息。
While there exist approaches to integrate heterogeneous data using semantic models, such semantic models can typically not be used by existing software tools. Many software tools - especially in engineering - only have options to import and export data in more established data interchange formats such as XML or JSON. Thus, if an information which is included in a semantic model needs to be used in a such a software tool, automatic approaches for mapping semantic information into an interchange format are needed. We aim to develop a generic mapping approach that allows users to create transformations of semantic information into a data interchange format with an arbitrary structure which can be defined by a user. This mapping approach is currently being elaborated. In this contribution, we report our initial steps targeted to transformations from RDF into XML. At first, a mapping language is introduced which allows to define automated mappings from ontologies to XML. Furthermore, a mapping algorithm capable of executing mappings defined in this language is presented. An evaluation is done with a use case in which engineering information needs to be used in a 3D modeling tool.
