The ontology web language is language that is set and designed for the use of applications and to process the content in information, the aim of ontology web language is wide not just presenting information to humans. Ontology web languages describe the ideas in domain so it could be understood by software, ontology web language expresses the meaning of semantics in a better way compared to XML, RDF for all these reasons it could even go beyond in making the machine interpretable content on the web. The semantic web helps in defining the meaning
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
Background
The W3C Web Ontology Language (OWL) is playing an important role in an increasing number and range of applications, and is the focus of research into tools, reasoning techniques, formal foundations and language extensions. This level of experience with OWL means that the community is now in a good position to discuss how OWL be applied, adapted and extended to fulfil current and future application demands. In particular, the initial design of OWL was conservative in several ways: it excluded constructs that did not have considerable
Abstract
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) provides a model and an XML format for describing Web services. This document describes a representation of that model in the Resource Description Language (RDF) and in the Web Ontology Language (OWL), and a mapping procedure for transforming particular WSDL descriptions into their RDF form.
