Overall Status | Compatibility with OWL 1The OWL Working Group intends to make OWL 2 be a superset of OWL 1, except for a limited number of situations where we believe the impact will be minimal. This means that OWL 2 will be backward compatible, and creators of OWL 1 documents need only move to OWL 2 when they want to make use of OWL 2 features. More details and advice concerning migration from OWL 1 to OWL 2 will be in future drafts. |

Document | Quick Reference Guide |
---|---|
Link to this table | #Quick Reference Guide |
Decision to Publish | 2008-11-05 |
Maturity | First Public Working Draft |
FPWD Comment | This document is intended to provide a quick reference to the OWL 2 language, similar to what was provided in the Language Synopsis section of the OWL Web Ontology Language Overview. It complements the OWL 2 Primer, an updated version of which will be published in due course. Inspiration for this effort includes work by the ebiquity Research Group at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) on earlier versions of a Reference Card for the Semantic Web.
The intended final status of this document has not yet been determined; since it may become a Recommendation, it should be considered a Recommendation-Track document for now. |
Document | New Features and Rationale |
---|---|
Link to this table | #New Features and Rationale |
Decision to Publish | 2008-11-05 |
Maturity | First Public Working Draft |
FPWD Comment | This document is a simple introduction to the new features of the OWL 2 Web Ontology Language, including an explanation of its differences with respect to OWL 1. It presents the requirements that have motivated the design of the main new features, and their rationale from a theoretical and implementation perspective. According to their interests, readers can focus on: an informal description of the new features, requirements, examples, theory or implementation perspectives, or/and links to a sample of use cases. These new features are based on real applications, and user and tool developer experience, much of which was documented and discussed as part of the OWLED Workshop Series.
The intended final status of this document has not yet been determined; since it may become a Recommendation, it should be considered a Recommendation-Track document for now. |
Document | ManchesterSyntax |
---|---|
Link to this table | #ManchesterSyntax |
Decision to Publish | 2008-11-12 |
Maturity | First Public Working Draft |
FPWD Comment | This description of the Manchester Syntax is derived from the syntax used in various OWL tools and in the OWL 2 Primer as of November 2008. It is expected that tools will extend the Manchester Syntax for their own purposes, and tool builders may collaboratively extend the common language.
The Working Group expects this document, when done, to be a Working Group Note, not a W3C Recommendation. As expressed in the document conformance clause, OWL systems are not required to read or write this syntax. |
Document | InternationalizedStringSpec |
---|---|
Link to this table | #InternationalizedStringSpec |
Decision to Publish | 2008-11-05 |
Maturity | First Public Working Draft |
FPWD Comment | This datatype was developed jointly by the Rule Interchange Format (RIF) Working Group and OWL Working Group, in order to simplify working formally with the RDF language-tagged string literals. |
