BOOTOX: Bootstrapping OWL 2 ontologies and R2RML mappings from Relational Databases

Abstract

In this demo paper we present BOOTOX, a system facilitating ontology and mapping development by their automatic extraction (i.e., bootstrapping) from relational databases. BOOTOX has a number of advantages: it allows to control the OWL 2 profile of the output ontologies, and to bootstrap complex and provenance mappings, which are beyond the W3C direct mapping specification. Moreover, BOOTOX allows to import pre-existing ontologies.
