[comp.databases] KBS using relational database

mw@fct.unl.pt (Michel Wermelinger) (04/19/91)

I'm starting to work on a Knowledge-Based System which will be used as
a link between a Natural Language query interface and an existing
relational database. The system will be almost certainly be
implemented in Prolog, but apart from that I'm not interested in
implementational issues yet. 

I would like to hear about previous experiences in building a
deductive database on top of a relational one, in interfacing Prolog
with a relational database, and what theoretical framework has been
used (conceptual graphs, feature logic, object-oriented paradigms,
semantic data models ?).

Any suggestion, hint, or reference is most welcome. Please mail them
directly to me and I will post a summary.

Thanks in advance,
Michel
