随着计算机技术的发展与应用,起源于哲学的本体逐渐在信息科学领域受到广泛关注,其应用的重要性已在许多方面表现出来,而本体合理有效的存储是保证其共享利用的前提。文章在对国内外现有的本体存储技术研究进行文献调研和定量分析的基础上,分别介绍了现有的几种本体存储方法,其中重点叙述了本体在关系数据库中的几种存储模式;对比分析了主要的本体存储方法及本体存储管理系统;总结了现有方法中存在的局限性,并展望了本体存储技术的发展趋势。
With the development and application of computer technology, the ontology originated from philosophy has gradually attracted extensive attention in the field of information science, and the importance of its application has been displayed in many as pects, while the reasonable and effective storage of the ontology is the premise of the assurance of the sharing and utilization of ontol ogy. Based on the literature survey and quantitative analysis of the research on the present ontology storage technology at home and a broad, this paper introduces several existing ontology storage methods with the focus on the deseription of several storage models of ontology in relational databases. The paper compares and analyzes the main ontology storage methods and ontology storage manage ment systems. Finally, the paper summarizes the limitations of the present methods, and predicts the development trend of the ontol ogy storage technoloav.
