Excerpt: The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is a family of knowledge representation languages for authoring ontologies. The languages are characterised by formal semantics and RDF/XML-based serializations for the Semantic Web. OWL is endorsed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and has attracted academic, medical and commercial interest. In October 2007, a new W3C working group was started to extend OWL with several new features as proposed in the OWL 1.1 member submission. This new version, called OWL 2, soon found its way into semantic editors such as Protege and semantic reasoners such as Pellet, RacerPro, FaCT++ and HermiT. W3C announced the new version on 27 October 2009. The OWL family contains many species, serializations, syntaxes and specifications with similar names. This may be confusing unless a consistent approach is adopted. OWL and OWL2 will b...
