  • Method and module for creating a relational database schema from an ontology
    Patent number: 8639712
    Abstract: A method for creating a relational database schema is provided. The method comprises accessing (110, 210) a reference ontology (101) comprising a first number of concepts and a second number of properties, selecting (120, 220) a first set of concepts from the reference ontology, determining (130, 230) a first set of properties from said second number of properties, associated with the selected first set of concepts, determining (140, 240) a second set of concepts associated with the determined first set of properties, and generating (150, 250) a relational database schema comprising a number of tables, of which at least one table pertains to a concept of said second set of concepts. Further, a module (300) for creating a relational database schema is provided.
