摘要

Disclosed are a method and system for storing semantic web statements in a relational database. The method comprises the steps of providing a repository for said semantic web statements, and providing a relational database including one or more specific tables. Each of these specific tables includes (i) one column holding a Uniform Resource identifier (URI) key, and (ii) one or more additional columns holding components of said semantic web statements. A specific table component registry is established to connect the specific tables to said repository, and this registry includes an entry for each of said specific tables for converting data in said tables to one of said semantic statements.
