Unifying Data and Domain Knowledge Using Virtual Views

Summary: Unifies relational data, ontological domain knowledge, and inferred facts in a relational virtual view for seamless querying. XML-backed representation and query rewriting transparently map logical knowledge views to hybrid relational–XML execution. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
