  • Patent number: 11068439
    Abstract: A method for unsupervised transformation of denormalized data into RDF data includes summarizing an existing resource description framework (RDF) file wherein a data summary file is produced, wherein said RDF file includes a plurality of nodes, property labels, and literals and is represented as a directed graph, and said data summary file is a graph that includes a single instance of each node-property-literal triple in the RDF file; analyzing a plurality of denormalized records wherein a record summary is produced, wherein said record summary is represented as a directed graph with a root node corresponding to each record connected to a node for each field in the record; determining one or more transformation patterns that match elements of the record summary to elements of the data summary; and transforming the plurality of denormalized records into a new RDF file by executing one of the one or more transformation patterns.
