Translation between RDF and Topic Maps: Divide and Translate

Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of
sharing and integrating data across RDF and
Topic Map representations. The novel
aspect of tackling the RDF - Topic Maps
interoperability
problem is the attempt to identify the
right balance between the following key aspects:
(i) semantics-preserving data translation;
(ii) completeness of the translation; (iii)
pragmatics
and usability of the translation. The
proposed strategy towards achieving this goal is
based on
exploiting the ontological correspondence
between RDF and Topic Maps. The design focus is
placed
on a translation respecting the meaning
and the readability of the RDF - Topic Maps
translation.
The paper analyzes the feasibility of the
interoperability task, presents some requirements
derived
from this analysis, and proposes a method
for RDF - Topic Maps translation. The proposed
method is
implemented as a plug-in of the TM4L topic maps editor.
