OWL 2 Web Ontology Language
(Redirected from OWL 2)
An OWL 2 Web Ontology Language is an Ontology Language that is a W3C Standard.
- AKA: OWL 2, OWL 2 Standard.
- Context:
- It can be used to specify an OWL 2 ontology.
- It supercedes the OWL 1 Web Ontology Language/OWL 1 Standard.
- It is based on Description Logics.
- See: OWL Standard, Pellet Reasoning System, OWL 2 DL.

- ABSTRACT: The OWL 2 Web Ontology Language, informally OWL 2, is an ontology language for the Semantic Web with formally defined meaning. OWL 2 ontologies provide classes, properties, individuals, and data values and are stored as Semantic Web documents. OWL 2 ontologies can be used along with information written in RDF, and OWL 2 ontologies themselves are primarily exchanged as RDF documents.
- This document serves as an introduction to OWL 2 and the various other OWL 2 documents. It describes the syntaxes for OWL 2, the different kinds of semantics, the available profiles (sub-languages), and the relationship between OWL 1 and OWL 2.

- ABSTRACT: … This document provides a specification of several profiles of OWL 2 which can be more simply and/or efficiently implemented. In logic, profiles are often called fragments. Most profiles are defined by placing restrictions on the structure of [OWL 2 Ontology|[OWL 2 ontologies]]. These restrictions have been specified by modifying the productions of the functional-style syntax.

- ABSTRACT: … The Manchester syntax is a user-friendly compact syntax for OWL 2 ontologies; it is frame-based, as opposed to the axiom-based other syntaxes for OWL 2. The Manchester Syntax is used in the OWL 2 Primer, and this document provides the language used there. It is expected that tools will extend the Manchester Syntax for their own purposes, and tool builders may collaboratively extend the common language
