Abstract

Although few systems for normalization of relations are already in place to support schema refinement, they are rarely used be it by database practitioners, or as a teaching aid at universities. Meanwhile, the Semantic Web potential for novice implementations understood by both humans and machines Web-wide has just recently urged the need to reinterpret systems that are yet in the mainstream of standalone or traditional Web systems. That has motivated us to consider the design and implementation of a database normalization system as integral part of the machine-understandable knowledge base on the Web, as conceived by the Semantic Web. This paper presents the ontology layer of our normalization system, as well as the initial findings in building the rule layer of this system using Semantic Web technologies.
