In the paper, we present the main assumptions of ontology formulation and knowledge modeling in the form of relational database. This approach simplifies the development of knowledge mining tools which may use SQL together with attributive logic. The paper presents a concept and principles of ontology formulation for the needs of collecting the technological knowledge. The relational model of database is used as a tool for ontology developing. An example was given of how to model the ontology along with the example of the rules used in search for information. The results of our preliminary works confirm the correctness of our assumptions and enable drawing the conclusion, that well-known and reliable relational databases may be used as an efficient tool for ontology development.
