Then others information in the database should be related and I think this can be done using D2RQ or other DBtoRDF conversion tools. The only problem I saw was the creation of "nice" URI to represent resources and being able to index it... It depends on your case, but I think this can be solved in certain case using a very simple configuration of a web server for theses files... I don't see if there can be a "real nice silver bullet" solution for that...
