data and file formats to RDF. To adapt SQL Relational Databases
RDBMS, please refer to: - Aperture : Aperture is a Java
framework for extracting and querying full-text content and
metadata from various information systems (file systems, web
sites, mail boxes, ...) and the file formats (documents, images,
...) occurring in these systems. It is a joint project by DFKI
and Aduna and others who join. - gnowsis: The gnowsis adapter
framework (www.gnowsis.org) provided a standard architecture for
building adapters from existing data sources to RDF. This
framework was separated with gnowsis 0.9 and moved to Aperture
(see above) in 2006. With it you can use adapters to extract
information from your IMAP server, the file system, Outlook, or
any other data source for which you write an adapter (ie
Relational Databases). Gnowsis is based on either a CBD
implementation or a simplified find(spo) implementa
