The new public review draft of the document "ebXML Registry Profile for Web Ontology Language (OWL) Version 1.5" has been released. Being produced by the OASIS ebXML Registry Semantic Content Management Subcommittee, it defines a new version of the ebXML profile used for publishing, management, discovery and reuse of the ontologies developed by the OWL Lite standards.
This document tries to define the normative ebXML Registry Profile for the OWL (Web Ontology Language) Lite. It has the purpose to normatively specify how the OWL Lite constructs are
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) issued Web Ontology Language (OWL) as a W3C Candidate Recommendation. Candidate Recommendation is an explicit call for implementations, indicating that the document has been reviewed by all other W3C Working Groups, that the specification is stable, and appropriate for implementation.OWL is a language for defining structured, Web-based ontologies which enable richer integration and interoperability of data across application boundaries. Early adopters of these standards include bioinformatics and medical communities,
An ontology defines the terms used to describe and represent an area of knowledge. Ontologies are critical for applications that need to search across or merge information from diverse communities. Although XML DTDs and XML Schemas are sufficient for exchanging data between parties who have agreed to the definitions beforehand, their lack of semantics prevents machines from reliably performing this task with new XML vocabularies.

OASIS announced the publication of a public review draft for the "ebXML Registry Profile for Web Ontology Language (OWL) Version 1.5" specification, ending 11-February-2007. Produced by members of the OASIS ebXML Registry Semantic Content Management Subcommittee, this document defines the ebXML Registry profile for publishing, management, discovery, and reuse of OWL Lite Ontologies.
The SC was chartered to define use cases and requirements for managing semantic content within the ebXML Registry 4.0, seeking to establish a formal liaison with relevant
Christian Becker (Freie Universität Berlin) has implemented a wrapper around flikr which generates photo collections depicting DBpedia concepts. See flikr wrappr for details. We have interlinked all DBpedia concepts with the corresponding photo collections. You can now use any Semantic Web browser to navigate from a DBpedia concept to flikr photos depicting it by following the dbpedia:hasPictureCollection property. This means an additional 30-50 million photos are accessible through DBpedia.

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.

Members of the OASIS ebXML Registry Technical Committee have approved a September 2006 Committee Draft version of "ebXML Registry Profile for Web Ontology Language (OWL) Version 1.5" as a new Committee Specification. The document defines the ebXML Registry profile for publishing, management, discovery and reuse of OWL Lite Ontologies.
The ebXML Registry holds the metadata for the RegistryObjects and the documents pointed at by the RegistryObjects reside in an ebXML repository. The basic semantic mechanisms of ebXML Registry are classification
Abstract
This document defines a set of extension attributes for the Web Services Description Language and XML Schema definition language that allows description of additional semantics of WSDL components. The specification defines how semantic annotation is accomplished using references to semantic models, e.g. ontologies. Semantic Annotations for WSDL and XML Schema (SAWSDL) does not specify a language for representing the semantic models. Instead it provides mechanisms by which concepts from the semantic models, typically defined outside the WSDL
The original Scientific American article on the Semantic Web appeared in 2001. It described the evolution of a Web that consisted largely of documents for humans to read to one that included data and information for computers to manipulate. The Semantic Web is a Web of actionable information--information derived from data through a semantic theory for interpreting the symbols.This simple idea, however, remains largely unrealized. Shopbots and auction bots abound on the Web, but these are essentially handcrafted for particular tasks; they have little
