Abstract
As discussed in section 2.1 of this thesis we regard semantic technologies “as technical approaches that facilitate or make use of the interpretation of meaning by machines”. Ontologies are one of the core elements of semantic solutions. In the following, we review the definition of ontologies and briefly describe their general characteristics. Moreover, we discuss important concepts for ontology and knowledge representation within the Semantic Web. After that, we explain ways to process knowledge representations, such as reasoning, inferencing, and querying. Due to the focus of this thesis, we finally describe how relational databases and ontologies are related.
