This page summarizes the relationships among specifications, whether they are finished standards or drafts. Below, each title
links to the most recent version of a document.

Completed Work
W3C Recommendations have
been reviewed by W3C Members, by software developers, and by other
W3C groups and interested parties, and are endorsed by the
Director as Web Standards. Learn more about the W3C Recommendation
Track.
Group Notes are not standards and do not
have the same level of W3C endorsement.

This document describes best practice recipes for publishing vocabularies or ontologies on
the Web (in RDF Schema or OWL). The features of each recipe are described in
detail, so that vocabulary designers may choose the recipe best suited to their needs. Each
recipe introduces general principles and an example configuration for use with an Apache HTTP
server (which may be adapted to other environments). The recipes are all designed to be
consistent with the architecture of the Web as currently specified, although the
associated example configurations have been kept intentionally simple.

This document presents ontology patterns for representing n-ary
relations in RDF and OWL and discusses what users must consider when
choosing these patterns.

Domain models play a central role throughout the software
development cycle, from requirements analysis to design, through
implementation and beyond. As such, great progress has been made in
the consistent use of models throughout this process. Modern
software development tools with support for the UML and code
generation as well as Model-Driven Architectures allow for
developers to synchronize and verify technical implementation with
user requirements using models. However, the reusability of domain
models is often limited because they are, by definition, domain
specific and only take into consideration abstractions needed to
make possible a solution within the confines of their own
individual problem space. But the Web is broader than that and
provides a multidimensional solution space capable of referencing
an almost limitless set of domains. While much of our software
becomes increasingly embedded in the Web, our development processes
do not fully exploit the potential of model reuse from the Web yet.
This note therefore introduces Semantic Web languages such as RDF
Schema and OWL, and shows how they can be used in tandem with
mainstream object-oriented languages. We show that the Semantic Web
can serve as a platform on which domain models can be created,
shared and reused.

Many applications that involve multimedia content make use of
some form of metadata that describe this content. The goals of
this document are (i) to explain what the advantages are of
using Semantic Web languages and technologies for the creation,
storage, manipulation, interchange and processing of image
metadata, and (ii) to provide guidelines for doing so. The document
gives a number of use cases that illustrate ways to exploit
Semantic Web technologies for image annotation, an overview of RDF
and OWL vocabularies developed for this task and an overview of
relevant tools.
