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
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
Abstract
This article introduces Resource Description Framework (RDF), a technology developed by the W3C for web-based metadata. RDF’s goal is to make work easier for autonomous agents and automated services using XML as an interchange syntax. This article includes a simple ASP.NET example that generates one of the most popular RDF applications, Friend of a Friend (FOAF) RDF files, which connects people over the Web though their relationships.

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
