How to store ontologies in a relational database?

The Semantic Web brings closer to realization the possibility of semantically organized data repositories, or ontologies, throughout the Internet that can be used for intelligent information searching both by humans and computational agents. Ontologies are important to application integration solutions. However, while today there is an un-precedented wealth of information available on the Web, to fully realize the power of ontologies and to enable efficient and flexible information gathering, persistent storage of ontologies and its subsequent retrieval is of paramount importance. Therefore, storing ontologies in a relational database is one way to get around this problem.
