Abstract
This paper proposes a new persistent storage to efficiently manage OWL Web ontologies. The Semantic Web is recognized as a next direction for progress of the current Web. To realize the Semantic Web, various technologies have been developed. Especially, OWL (Web Ontology Language) is the most important and state-of-the-art technology toward the ideal Semantic Web. However, most of research is being focused on designing and building OWL documents (OWL Ontology). One of the most important issues is how to efficiently and persistently store a very large OWL data into database management systems. In this paper, we propose a persistent storage system to achieve the purpose. This paper describes the performance evaluation result on the load time. The experiment result explicitly shows that our proposal provides more enhanced performance comparing with the existing systems.
