This research presents our work to construct Ontologies from relational databases. We have reviewed the existing rules for mapping database schema into ontology schema and consequently updated the mapping rules to accommodate the various missing cases. A real world relational model, the university course registration and fee collection, has been used to demonstrate the mapping of relational data model into ontology concepts. Our example relational model contains every possible construct of the database schema and we have demonstrated the conversion of each construct into ontology using our information system example.
