RODI is a benchmark suite for testing the quality of (semi-)automatically generated, RDB2RDF (relational database to RDF) mappings.
When referring to this work, please always cite our most recent publication (currently [1]). For an overview of the first prototype, please see [2].
RODI is implemented in Java and requires JRE 1.8 or later.
For developers, to compile and run the workspace, a corresponding JDK is needed. Eclipse is recommended for development and an Eclipse project is pre-configured. RODI also relies on a number of publicly available JAR libraries that are not included with in the repository (see below).
For use by non-developers, there is a complete pre-packaged distribution of the latest RODI release available from the University of Oxford. It runs directly from the command line.
Development requires a clone of this git repository. You may either use the pre-configured Eclipse project, in which case several external libraries need to be added manually. Please refer to manual.pdf for a full list of required libraries including download instructions. As an alternative, you may use the included Maven to automatically download dependencies. To generate a RODI JAR file from the command line using Maven, run: mvn package
RODI can be run as an Eclipse project, or from the command line using the latest release. When starting from Eclipse (or from a Maven-generated JAR), the Main type to execute is com.fluidops.rdb2rdfbench.Main. Try --help for command line options.
For further usage documentation, please refer to the user's manual (manual.pdf) included with the release distribution.
