Description: The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is designed for use by applications that need to process web content information. OWL facilitates greater machine interpretability of Web content, than that supported by eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Resource Description Framework (RDF), and RDF Schema (RDF-S), by providing additional vocabulary along with a formal semantics. OWL is developed as a vocabulary extension of the Resource Description Framework and is derived from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Agent Markup Language (DAML) and Ontology Interchange Language (OIL) Web Ontology Language.
