Abstract
LILOG is a project for exploring linguistic and logic methods for an automatic understanding of German texts and for an adequate representation of the acquired knowledge. In order to maintain knowledge bases of realistic size database technology will be used. This paper discusses some of the problems, that occur when an existing database system (SQL/DS) is used for representing the various types of knowledge. Additionally, the design of a rapid prototype PROLOG/SQL System will be presented, which supports the exploration of various mapping and access schemes and considers the fact that the used knowledge representation methods will most certainly evolve during the course of the project.
