EVENTO
Ontology storing and reasoning
Tipo de evento: Seminário LNCC
A major obstacle to the development of ontologies in support of the Semantic Web is the inability, given current ontology techniques, to handle very large ontologies. Scalability of reasoners is still a very open research issue. We propose a solution to the issue that follows a novel path. We advocate that very large ontologies are best handled using database systems, which have been tuned to provide efficient mechanism to store, update, and manage large volumes of data. To make this possible and meaningful we are augmenting the functionality of a relational DBMS to include the reasoning mechanisms (implemented as stored procedures) that are the essence of ontology management. As a result, a single system is used to store, query, update, and reason about an ontology. We implemented our approach in the OntoMinD prototype.
