Abstract:
In this paper, we are interested in the use of domain ontologies as a semantic enrichment for traditional
databases. Particularly, we address the problem of semantically querying a single database using domain ontology. Our first
aim is to help the user in his search when his initial query doesnâ€™t return any result. So, we propose an approach allowing the
user to express his interrogation in a relatively free way. It is an ontological approach for SQL query expansion generating
a set of queries. The proposed approach is based on a domain ontology constructed from the database schema. It is a semantic
model for the considered database schema.
