Abstract
Most of nowadays Web content is stored in relational data-bases. It is important to develop ways for representation of this information in the Semantic Web to allow software agents to process it intelligently. The paper presents an approach to translation of data, schema and the most important constraints from relational databases into the Semantic Web without any extensions to the Semantic Web languages.
