Michael E. Smith, Ian Horrocks, Sandro Hawke, Matthew Horridge, Michael Schneider · 2012
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. The OWL 2 Document Overview describes the overall state of OWL 2, and should be read before other OWL 2 documents. This document describes the conditions that OWL 2 tools must satisfy in order to be conformant with the language specification. It also pr esents a common format for OWL 2 test cases that both illustrate the features of the language and can be used for testing conformance.
