Ontology Based Data Access (OBDA) enables access to relational data with a complex structure through ontologies as conceptual domain models. A key component of an OBDA system are mappings between the schematic elements in the ontology and their correspondences in the relational schema. Today, in existing OBDA systems these mappings typically need to be compiled by hand. In this paper we present IncMap, a system that supports a semi-automatic approach for matching relational schemata and
