Building OWL ontologies by analyzing relational database schema concepts and WordNet semantic relations

Ontologies represents main building material for creation of Semantic Web. Without ontologies it could not be possible to enable machine processability of data on the Semantic Web. Data is usually stored inside relational databases that represent the backbone for dynamical web sites. That data represents the invisible Web, ignored by search engines and Web crawlers. This paper presents a way to extract semantics from relational database schema and create OWL ontology automatically. Because relational database schema can capture very limited semantics, ontologies are enriched with additional WordNet semantics.
