This paper describes a framework that uses the Semantic
Web infrastructure to address semantic interoperability
between relational database systems in large-scale environments
and at multiple levels of granularities. Given a relational
database system, we describe a formal algorithm
to use the relational database Rs meta-data and structural
constraints to construct its OWL ontology while preserving
the structural constraints of the underlying relational
database system. The generated ontology is described using
and conforming to a set of vocabularies defined in an ontology
that describes relational database systems on the web.
Using this set of vocabularies guarantee that applications
on the web can work with data instances that conformed
to a set of known vocabularies and structures. Finally, we
describe our prototype and how semantic conflicts are resolved
between multiple relational database systems using
the generated ontologies.
