A Storage Method of Ontology Based on Graph Database
Hui Zhang · 2016
Many problems may occur when storing ontology into the relational database, such as semantic information loss, information redundancy and so on.Graph database has a natural graph structure, which can relieve the above problems.So far many articles have only touched upon the RDF and graph database but not on the common ontology.A method is put forward in this paper used for storing ontology into the graph database.In the article, a general model of mapping ontology to graph is presented and its algorithm is given.A prototype system is implemented to map an ontology to a graph and store it into a graph-database automatically.The test results based on the system illustrate the mapping model and the algorithm are universal for the ontology.And many queries can be done in the graph-database which are similar to those in ontology.
