Examples of mappings with RML

Mapping data combining XML and JSON sources

Input data

            
Input data in JSON format
{ ... ,

Reusing mapping definitions for data of different formats

Primary interlinking

            
<#PerformancesMapping>

          rr:parent "/Events/Exhibition/Venue" ]
] ] .
            
        

            
Without interlinking while mapping:
ex:567 ex:venue ex:78.
ex:398 ex:venue ex:STAM.
ex:78 owl:sameAs ex:STAM

Interlinking while mapping:
ex:567 ex:venue ex:78.
ex:398 ex:venue ex:78.
