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
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.
The Semantic Web is a vision for the future of the Web in which information is given explicit meaning, making it easier
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

[February 10, 2004] W3C Recommendations: Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Web Ontology Language (OWL). The World Wide Web Consortium has announced "final approval of two key Semantic Web technologies, the revised Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL). RDF and OWL are Semantic Web standards that provide a framework for asset management, enterprise integration and the sharing and reuse of data on the Web. These standard formats for data sharing span application, enterprise, and community boundaries, since
