I'll give a tutorial on that at the 1st International Semantic Web Conference in June. While waiting :-) you can have a look at the tutorial web page: http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~franconi/dl/course/tutorial/ where a short survey paper is available: http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~franconi/dl/course/tutorial/iswc-02-tutorial.pdf At the "Intro to DL" course web page you can have a look at the last module on DL&DB, and at the listed literature available online: http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~franconi/dl/course/ cheers -- e.
