Recently, the mapping from Relational Databases (RDB) into Resource Description Framework (RDF) becomes an essential demand for most of the people who are consuming the Web in their daily activities and businesses due to the need for getting complete integrated, trustworthy and understandable data that achieving their requirements and wishes. However, management and controlling the RDB-RDF mapping process is a challengeable task because of the rapid change in the massive amount of data which is collected from a diverse huge number of providers and vendors. In this work, a RDB-RDF Management Framework is suggested to automatically manage and monitor the mapping process from relational to semantic data. The proposed framework includes a set of Data Handlers and Web services (WSs) in order to improve the Web environment interoperability and reliability. Specifically, three sets of services are established and consumed to handle and organize the mapping process. One set of the three suggested services is operating and acting like an intelligent agent to continuously sensing the change that might occur at the relational data storage side with respect to three different levels: schema, relation and data. Finally, the implementation and particular case study of the suggested framework are introduced and discussed.
