Abstract
The design rationale behind the triplification of a relational database is a valuable information source, especially for the process of interlinking published triplesets. Indeed, studies show that the arbitrary use of the owl:sameAs property, without carrying context information regarding the triplesets to be linked, has jeopardized the reuse of the triplesets. This article therefore proposes the StdTrip+K process that integrates a design rationale approach with a triplification strategy. The process supports the reuse of standard RDF vocabularies recommended by W3C for publishing datasets and automatically collects the entire rationale behind the ontology design, using a specific vocabulary called Kuaba+W.
