DLDB: Extending Relational Databases to Support Semantic Web Queries

Overview DAML+OIL enables the creation of ontologies and provides extensive semantics for Web data. This language is heavily influenced by description logics. Research on DL reasoners is primarily focused on intensional queries, that is, queries about the structure of an ontology. However, it is almost certain that the majority of Semantic Web queries will be extensional ones. Databases are excellent tools for storing and querying data, but lack the ability to perform the inference sanctioned by DAML+OIL entailments. This paper describes one method to extend relational databases to support DAML+OIL semantics.
