  1. Bridging the Gap between OWL and Relational Databases Yan Qi CSE 494

  2. Motivation • Integrity Constraints (ICs) in Relation DB • Data reasoning (checking db integrity) • Schema reasoning (computing query subsumption) • Integrity Constraints (ICs) in OWL • e.g. an inclusion dependency, stating that a social security number must exist for each person. • In RDB, it’s interpreted as a check • In OWL, an existential restriction, (not an error but an inference).

  3. Analysis and Solution • OWL • Description Logic knowledge base • TBox : schema part • ABox : data part • Extended DL knowledge bases • Divide the axioms in TBox as • Standard axioms: imply new facts • Constraint axioms: check if all necessary information is derivable.

  4. Criticism • ICs in OWL can be interpreted as the same way as that in Relation DB. • Answering unions of positive conjunctive queries: ICs can be disregarded if they are satisfied. • Query processing could be optimized. • One concern is the complexity of the implementation of such a OWL reasoner, and the time cost of the process of reasoning. • Think about large OWL file.

  5. Related to our class • A fairly complete comparison of OWL and RDB. • Good understanding of ontology • and integrity constraints • OWL vs. Relational DB • Schema Language • Interpreting the Schema • Domains and Typing • Schema Reasoning • Query Answering • Constrain Checking

  6. What is the problem that the paper is addressing? Why is the problem interesting? • What is the solution that the authors propose? • What is your criticism of the solution presented? • How is it related to what we learned in the class?
