Web Ontology Working Group (WebOnt)
- Standardize means for defining ontologies 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
