Semantic Mapping of Data From An Entity-Relationship Model to a Graph-Based Data Format to Facilitate Simplified Querying

摘要

Methods and systems that allow of mapping data stored in a first format to a second format is provided. According to the method a data object to be mapped is identified. The object may have a particular type associated with it and one or more associated properties. A unique identifier can be generated for the based on the type of the first object. According to some embodiments, the unique identifier may contain information that can be used to retrieve the object when it is stored in the first format. One or more of the properties associated with the first can be mapped to a resource associated with the unique identifier and also with a second format. The first object can then be queried using a query language associated with the second format.

1. A method, comprising:
identifying a first object to be mapped, wherein the first object is stored in a first format and has an associated first object type and an associated first object property; generating a first unique identifier for the first object based on the first object type; mapping the first object property to a first resource associated with a second format, wherein the first resource is associated with the first unique identifier; and querying the first object using a very language associated with the second format.
