While the reasoning in traditional ontology languages, e.g. Web Ontology Language (OWL), is based on Description Logics, MOWL supports a probabilistic reasoning framework based on Bayesian Network.

The formal specification of knowledge, which is also known as knowledge representation, is not new. Long before the Semantic Web knowledge representation has been part of several studies. Starting in the seventies AI-scientists startet to work on predicate logics for the formal specification of knowledge. Later on knowledge representation with description logics, which are a subtype of predicate logics. Description logics powress is restriced compared to predicate logics but allows efficient reasoning. In 2001 Tim Berners-Lee and others published an
