Oracle 11g Gains Native OWL Support
Oracle 11g will gain native OWL support.
From the article:
> (2) Native OWL inferencing (for an OWL subset that includes property characteristics, class comparisons, proprety comparisons, individual comparions and class expressions) [New API]
Way to go, Oracle! I’ve always had a soft spot for Oracle’s RDF support. The way that you can blend RDF data sets and traditional relational data sets in the same query helps to deploy RDF slowly but surely. Not to mention that Oracle has already solved all the main problems that a RDBMS should solve (like ACID compliance, backup and recovery, strong security, wide developer toolset) makes Oracle’s RDF support (and soon OWL) a strong contender for RDF data stores.
[...] I noticed in Seth Ladd’s Semergence blog that the next version of Oracle’s RDF Database (11g) is expected to have native inferencing for a subset of OWL. This is in addition to faster querying and bulk-loading and “new SQL operators for enhancing a relational query using an ontology”. See this thread in Oracle’s Semantic Technologies Forum. [...]
