Abstract

This paper addresses the integration of the PostgreSQL database management system (DBMS) with the Semantic Web. Integration algorithms based on the use of the DBMS capabilities that do not introduce changes in SQL are proposed. An integration based on one of the algorithms supporting main formats of the Semantic Web is presented. The proposed algorithms can be implemented in different DBMSs supporting triggers (or rules), table functions, and indexing.
