The Ontology Web Language (OWL) is a set of markup languages which are designed for use by applications that need to process the content of information instead of just presenting information to humans. OWL ontologies describe the hierarchical organization of ideas in a domain, in a way that can be parsed and understood by software. OWL has more facilities for expressing meaning and semantics than XML, RDF, and RDF-S, and thus OWL goes beyond these languages in its ability to represent machine interpretable content on the Web. OWL is part of the W3C

The Ontology Web Language for Services (OWL-S) is a “core set of markup language constructs for describing the properties and capabilities of Web Services in unambiguous, computer-interpretable form.” When fully realized, OWL-S will allow service providers or brokers to define their services based on agreed upon ontologies that describe the “real world” functions they provide. OWL-S was originally called DARPA Agent Markup Language for Services (DAML-S), and was created as part of the DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML) project.
