Nowadays, ontologies are more and more used in several research and application domains, in particular e-commerce, e-business and the Semantic Web Several tools for managing ontology data and ontology-based data (also called individuals or ontology class instances) are available Usually, ontology-based data manipulated by these tools are stored in the main memory Thus, for applications that manipulate a large amount of ontology-based data, it is difficult to ensure an acceptable performance So, there is a real need for storing ontology-based data in database schemas to get benefit of the capabilities offered by DBMSs (query performance, data storage, transaction management, etc.) We call this kind of databases Ontology-Based Databases (OBDBs).
