Abstract:
We study a translation of relational database into an extended DL knowledge base that is both sound and complete with respect to semantics preservation. The issue is of special importance while creating Web of Data, where relational databases are exposed in the Web to be searched, integrated and exchanged without loss of information and semantics. Our approach considers all fundamental requirements of DL/OWL knowledge bases such as OWA and rejecting the UNA. We propose a system of axioms for representing database integrity constraints, which guarantees information and semantics preserving data-to-knowledge exchange.
