Abstract
A semantically aware relational database management system includes suitable programming to relate attributes of the relational database to semantic equivalents of such attributes. In response to receiving a query, the relational database management system performs at least one semantically aware operation on the data in the relational database in order to determine what data is to be retrieved in response to the query. Results of the query presented to a user may include data derived from performing the semantically aware operations.
