It is a fairly complex question for me - but for the community, perhaps an easy answer? Is there a way to calculate or use a formula to determine the time involved in integrating RDF with SQL relational databases. We have a 5-table linked structure. The main table with the records for baptismal fonts has currently more than 25,000+ records on this table; the other tables with iconography, bibliography, image files, have additional records (120,000+ images, 3404 bibliographic references, and more than 8,000 iconographic references). How do I go about calculating the time and cost for the integration? Any thoughts on this? The next step is to link the data with other research projects. Thank you for considering this question. I value your expertise!
