Conjunctive Query Answering in EL using a Database System

We study conjunctive query answering in the description logic EL, the core of the designated OWL2-EL profile of OWL2. In particular, we present an approach that allows the use of conventional relational database technology for conjunctive query answering in EL. This approach is inspired by the OWL support in Oracle Database 11g, semantic technologies.
