The Resource Description Framework and RDF Schema recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium provide a flexible model for semantically representing information about resources on the Web, which are playing an increasingly important role in intelligent processing of large-scale data. With the widespread acceptance and applications of RDF(S), construction of RDF(S) is of increasing importance. Automatic construction of RDF(S) with diverse data has attracted more attention. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for constructing an RDF(S) with object-oriented databases that are suitable for non-traditional applications. We propose the formal rules of mapping an object-oriented database model into a RDF(S) model based on the formal definitions of these two models. We develop a tool named OODB2RDF to verify our approach.
