I'm actually interested in the immediate reasoning on the DB if that is what you are suggesting. I want to do intelligent querrying immediately onto the DB benefitting from the performacne improvement a DB can give me. I mean, I want to search through my ontology and suggest things to the user to improve his search using the ontology, but I don't think this is possible with a large structure using a Description Logic like OIL+DAML. So I thought a DB would be interesting in this respect. Suggestions are always welcome, thank you very much for the pointers I allready received. peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Enrico Franconi" <franconi@cs.man.ac.uk> To: <www-rdf-logic@w3.org> Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 12:48 AM Subject: Re: Mapping of DAML+OIL onto DB > On April 3, Hector Ceballos writes: > > You're mentioning initiatives and works for mapping ontologies in > > databases, but is there any initiative for especifying in certain > > way a relationship between classes/properties and objects stored in > > a database?
