OWL Status
- DARPA + Academic + W3C combination has been extremely effective
- OWL Model Theory makes this one of the most carefully analyzed W3C
specifications -- a strong positive
- Candidate Recommendation is a very significant
milestone for the technical work
- Evidence that the specification is stable:
- Public has had the opportunity to review a final specification
- Working Group has responded to all comments from that review and
made no additional significant changes
- A CR specification is tested through practice; the
Community is asked to demonstrate that multiple interoperable
implementations of the specification can be built; WG is tallying CR implementation reports
for OWL
- OWL CR comments were requested by 20-September; comment period
continues due to dependency on RDF Core specifications
- OWL
