Resource Description Framework (RDF) is designed as a standard metadata model for data interchange on the Internet. Because of machine comprehensibility, it has been successfully used in many areas, such as the intelligent processing of numerous data. While the generation of RDF with relational database (RDB) receives much attention, little effort has been put into the automatic construction of RDF with HBase due to its flexible data structure. Since more data is stored in HBase, it is necessary to extract useful information from HBase. In this paper, we are devoted to construction of RDF with HBase. We put forward formal definitions of RDF and HBase and propose our strategy for generating RDF with HBase. We develop a prototype system to create RDF, and test results demonstrate the feasibility of our method.
