Reversible Lossless Transformation from OWL 2 Ontologies into Relational Databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of the paper is to define reversible, information preserving transformation from OWL 2 ontologies into relational databases using our proposed hybrid approach, when a part of ontology constructs is directly represented by relational database structures and another part having no direct correspondences in a relational database is stored in metadata tables. The desirable transformation is defined in QVT Relations language following additional requirements under which such transformation is reversible and does not lose semantic information when performing from ontology to database and backward.

OWLRel: Learning Rich Ontologies from Relational Databases
Mapping between ontologies and relational databases is a necessity in realising the Semantic Web vision. Most of the work concerning this topic has either (1) extracted OWL schemas using a limited range of OWL modelling constructs from relational schemas, or (2) extracted relational schemas from OWL schemas, that represent the OWL schemas as much as possible. By contrast, we propose a general f...
متن کاملStoring OWL Ontologies in SQL Relational Databases
Relational databases are often used as a basis for persistent storage of ontologies to facilitate rapid operations such as search and retrieval, and to utilize the benefits of relational databases management systems such as transaction management, security and integrity control. On the other hand, there appear more and more OWL files that contain ontologies. Therefore, this paper proposes to ex...
متن کاملPreserving Semantics of Owl 2 Ontologies in Relational Databases Using Hybrid Approach
The goal of the paper is to define requirements to OWL 2 ontologies, under which their semantics may be preserved in a relational database, and to demonstrate that the hybrid approach for transforming OWL 2 ontologies into relational databases possesses such capability. The hybrid approach maps part of ontology concepts to relational database concepts on the base of their common semantics; onto...
متن کاملEnhancing Connection between Ontologies and Databases with Owl 2 Concepts and Sparql
The goal of the paper is to present the enhanced database schema for storing ontologies considering new features of OWL 2 and possibilities of querying these ontologies using SPARQL. The growing size of ontologies and the scope of their applications require the effective means for storing ontology data that relational databases already have approved. Many existing ontology reasoning tools are u...
متن کاملRule-Based Transformation of SQL Relational Databases to OWL Ontologies
This paper proposes a novel approach to automatic transformation of relational databases to ontologies, where the quality of transformation is also considered. A relational database is written in SQL, and an ontology is written in OWL. The proposed approach can be used for upgrading today’s Web to the Semantic Web. The high cost of manual building ontologies from scratch is one of the main obst...
