What is OWL

1.

The Web Ontology Language is a family of knowledge representation languages or ontology languages for authoring ontologies or knowledge bases. The languages are characterized by formal semantics and RDF/XML-based serializations for the Semantic Web. OWL is endorsed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and has attracted academic, medical and commercial interest.

2.

A markup language for publishing and sharing data using ontologies on the Internet. OWL is a vocabulary extension of the RDF and is derived from the DAML+OIL Web Ontology Language. Learn more in: OWL: Web Ontology Language

3.

Web Ontology Language is a mechanism to process the content of web information. It provides more machine interpretability than XML, RDF and RDF Schema by facilitating additional vocabulary with the existing semantics. Learn more in: Semantic Web-Linked Data and Libraries

The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is a semantic markup language for publishing and sharing ontologies on the World Wide Web. OWL is developed as a vocabulary extension of RDF and is derived from the DAML+OIL Web Ontology Language. An OWL ontology is an RDF graph, which is in turn a set of RDF triples. OWL includes three specific sub-languages, characterized by an increasing level of complexity and expressiveness, OWL Lite, OWL DL – DL stands for Description Logics, a particular, logic-oriented, knowledge representation language introduced to supply a formal foundation for frame-based systems – and OWL Full. The new OWL 2 proposals extends the ‘standard’ OWL Ontology Language with a small set of features like an increased expressiveness of properties, qualified cardinality constructors, extended datatype support, and a sort of meta-modeling device called “punning”.

5.

The W3C’s Web Ontology Language, an RDF-based language for defining ontologies and rules for logical inferencing. OWL 1 was published in 2004, OWL 2 in 2009. Learn more in: Standards for Achieving Interoperability of eGovernment in Europe

Acronym for Web Ontology Language, a markup language used to create ontologies within the Semantic Web framework. Learn more in: Semantic Web Platforms for Bioinformatics and Life Sciences

7.

A language to describe Web ontologies. It uses an XML format and it contains a formal description logic component, too. It provides the following extra functionality: classification, type and cardinality constraints, thesauri, decidability. Learn more in: Multi-Layered Semantic Data Models

8.

The concept of Web Ontology Language, the most expressive of ontology languages currently defined for the Semantic Web. It has been developed by the W3C’s Web Ontology Working Group and intended to be the successor of the DAML+May 5, 2005 OIL language. It is an extension of RDF Schema and a W3C Recommendation since 2004. Learn more in: Classification of Semantic Web Technologies

9.

The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is an ontology language for the Semantic Web with formally defined meaning, usually exploited to express ontologies. The primary OWL syntax is RDF/XML. OWL specifications are managed by the WWW Consortium (W3C). The current specification, OWL 2, includes three different sub-languages, called profiles , suited to different applicative goals.

The Web ontology language is a semantic markup language for publishing and sharing ontologies on the Web. It is primarily aimed at representing information about categories of objects and how objects are interrelated. OWL can also represent information about the objects themselves.

11.

The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is emerging as a core Semantic Web language. OWL provides a language for constructing ontologies that provide high-level descriptions of Web content. This language is built on a description logic foundation and provides strong formal consistency guarantees when checking ontologies for inconsistencies and when deducing new knowledge.

12.

Web Ontology Language designed for use by applications that need to process the content of information instead of just presenting information to humans. OWL can be used to explicitly represent the meaning of terms in vocabularies and the relationships between those terms. This representation of terms and their interrelationships is called an ontology. Learn more in: Sharing Ontologies and Rules Using Model Transformations

Language Markup language for publishing and sharing data using ontologies on the Internet. OWL is a vocabulary extension of the Resource description framework (RDF) and is derived from the DAML+OIL Web Ontology Language (see also DAML and OIL). Together with RDF and other components, these tools make up the Semantic Web project. Learn more in: Looking for Information in Fuzzy Relational Databases Accessible Via Web
