Research of OWL ontology storage and query based on BaseX
HU Tian-tia · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2015
In view of low efficiency of ontology storage and query based on relational database or other databases, Base X as an XML database is proposed to store ontoloy, besides, the architecture of it is also designed. Based on the research of Base X storage structure and its interface, ontology storage is implemented. OWL ontology query is implemented by using the Base X query interface and Xquery language, and ontology query extension and reasoning are implemented on the basis of inference rules library. The experiments compare the ontology storage and query method put forward in this paper with the classic method based on the relational database, which verify the method in this paper has more efficient storage and query performance, along with the ability of ontology query reasoning.
