OntoSQL
Keywords: RDF - Semantic Web - Querying - Databases
Functional Description: OntoSQL is a tool providing three main functionalities: - Loading RDF graphs (consisting of data triples and possibly a schema or ontology) into a relational database, - Saturating the data based on the ontology. Currently, RDF Schema ontologies are supported. - Querying the loaded data using conjunctive queries. Data can be loaded either from distinct files or from a single file containing them both. The loading process allows to choose between two storage schemas: - One triples table. - One table per role and concept. Querying provides an SQL translation for each conjunctive query according to the storage schema used in the loading process, then the SQL query is evaluated by the underlying relational database.
