Abstract
In this talk, I will explain how to align basic features of an ontology with the capabilities of relational databases. Besides using databases to store large volumes of data instances for an ontology, we can also offload some of the reasoning tasks typically handled by the knowledge base's inference engine. How far can we push this relationship between ontologies and databases remains an interesting question.
