DL Abstract Syntax
- There is also a non-XML based notation for OWL (“abstract syntax”)
- also used in the formal specification of OWL
- it may become more widespread in future
- currently only RDF/XML format is widely implemented
- but AS → RDF/XML converters exist
- e.g.:
Class(animate)
Class(animateMotion)
Class(animationEntity complete
unionOf(animate animateMotion …)
)
