MDE for Publishing Data on the Semantic Web

Publishing local data on the semantic web entails providing a shareable semantic data representation. We present a complete MDE approach that allows importing data sources into an RDF repository. At a preliminary stage, the object domain model is mapped to an ontology and to a persistence model. Specifying mappings requires a model annotation by a domain expert. All other processes are automated and data transformations are generated from the mappings via model weaving techniques.
