OnDBTuning is a relational database (automatic) tuning ontology. Ontologies are software artifacts that represent specific domain knowledge and can infer new knowledge. However, most cases involve only a formal and static description of concepts. Moreover, as database tuning involves many rules-ofthumb and black-box algorithms, it becomes challenging to describe these inference procedures. This research work first presents the OnDBTuning ontology solution focusing on the inference of tuning actions. Next, we provide an actual implementation using SPARQL Inferencing Notation (SPIN). Finally, we discuss a practical evaluation for index recommendation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
