Abstract

We present an ontology-based data access provided with a faceted interface. The underlying relational database is perceived through an ontological schema. Queries against the ontology are formulated using a hierarchical faceted interface. We show main ideas of DAFO and discuss how it relates to well-known OBDA systems.
