Web Ontology Working Group
- Designed to standardize means for defining ontolgies that
can be used on the Web.
- Builds on RDF Schema (classes and subclasses, properties
and subproperties)
-
Extends these constructs to allow more complex
relationships between entities (e.g.):
- limit the properties of classes with respect to
number and type
- means to infer that items with various properties are
members of a particular class
- a well-defined model for property inheritance
- Input from the
DAML+OIL work supported by
DARPA's DAML Initiative
