Roadmap
From OWL
This is to be included in each of the documents.
| Part | Type | Document |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | For Users | Document Overview. A quick overview of the OWL 2 specification that includes a description of its relationship to OWL 1. This it the starting point and primary reference point for OWL 2. |
| 2 | Core Specification | Structural Specification and Functional-Style Syntax defines the constructs of OWL 2 ontologies in terms of both their structure and a functional-style syntax, and defines OWL 2 DL ontologies in terms of global restrictions on OWL 2 ontologies. |
| 3 | Core Specification | Mapping to RDF Graphs defines a mapping of the OWL 2 constructs into RDF graphs, and thus defines the primary means of exchanging OWL 2 ontologies in the Semantic Web. |
| 4 | Core Specification | Direct Semantics defines the meaning of OWL 2 ontologies in terms of a model-theoretic semantics. |
| 5 | Core Specification | RDF-Based Semantics defines the meaning of OWL 2 ontologies via an extension of the RDF Semantics. |
| 6 | Core Specification | Conformance provides requirements for OWL 2 tools and a set of test cases to help determine conformance. |
| 7 | Specification | Profiles defines three sub-languages of OWL 2 that offer important advantages in particular applications scenarios. |
| 8 | For Users | OWL 2 Primer provides an approachable introduction to OWL 2, including orientation for those coming from other disciplines. |
| 9 | For Users | OWL 2 New Features and Rationale provides an overview of the main new features of OWL 2 and motivates their inclusion in the language. |
| 10 | For Users | OWL 2 Quick Reference Guide provides a brief guide to the constructs of OWL 2, noting the changes from OWL 1. |
| 11 | Specification | XML Serialization defines an XML syntax for exchanging OWL 2 ontologies, suitable for use with XML tools like schema-based editors and XQuery/XPath. |
| 12 | Specification | Manchester Syntax (WG Note) defines an easy-to-read, but less formal, syntax for OWL 2 that is used in some OWL 2 user interface tools and is also used in the Primer. |
| 13 | Specification | Data Range Extension: Linear Equations (WG Note) specifies an optional extension to OWL 2 which supports advanced constraints on the values of properties. |
