Description
Summary:Despite the fact that database technology is mature, it is not yet compatible with Semantic Web requirements, such as Semantic Web language concordance. On the other hand, ontology technology is the most promising solution for concretizing the Semantic Web vision; however, it has not been recognized as the Semantic Web data model thus far.
