    <p>RDF is being used to express many types of data, including relational data. Early approaches involved exporting a snapshot of the database into RDF, but recent work has focused on rewriting queries from <a>SPARQL</a> to SQL, or even direct interpretation of SPARQL by the database.</p>

    <p>This workshop focuses on RDF expressions of conventional relational data, it including, but not limited to, RDF queries of relational databases.</p>
