<div class="abstract">
<p>
This description of OWL, the Web Ontology Language
being designed by the W3C Web Ontology Working Group,
contains a high-level abstract syntax for both OWL DL and OWL Lite,
sublanguages of OWL.
A model-theoretic semantics is given to provide a formal meaning for OWL
ontologies written in this abstract syntax.
A model-theoretic semantics in the form of an extension to the RDF
semantics is also given to provide a formal meaning for OWL ontologies
as RDF graphs (OWL Full).
A mapping from the abstract syntax to RDF graphs is given and
the two model theories are shown to have the same consequences on
OWL ontologies that can be written in the abstract syntax.

<h2><a name="1"></a>1. Introduction (Informative)</h2>
<p>
<span class="editorialchange">
This document is one part of the specification of OWL, the Web Ontology
Language.
The OWL Overview
[<cite><a href="#ref-overview">OWL Overview</a></cite>]
describes each of the different documents in the specification
and how they fit together.
</span>
</p>
<p>
This document
contains several interrelated normative
specifications of the several
styles of OWL, the Web Ontology Language being produced by the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/WebOnt/">W3C Web Ontology Working Group
(WebOnt)</a>.
First, <a href="syntax.html#2">Section 2</a> contains
a high-level, abstract syntax for both
<a href="syntax.html#owl-lite">OWL Lite</a>, a subset of OWL,
and <a href="syntax.html#owl-dl">OWL DL</a>, a fuller style of using OWL
but one that still places some
limitations on how OWL ontologies are constructed.
Eliminating these limitations results in the full OWL language, called
<a href="rdfs.html#owl-full">OWL Full</a>, which has the same syntax
as RDF.
The normative exchange syntax for OWL is
RDF/XML [<cite><a href="#ref-rdfsyntax">RDF Syntax</a></cite>];
the OWL Reference document
[<cite><a href="#ref-ref">OWL Reference</a></cite>]
shows how the RDF syntax is used in OWL.
A mapping from the OWL abstract syntax to
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-rdf-concepts-20030123/#section-data-model">RDF graphs</a>
[<cite><a href="#ref-rdfconcepts">RDF Concepts</a></cite>]
is, however, provided in <a href="mapping.html">Section 4</a>.
</p>
<p>
This document contains two formal semantics for OWL.
One of these semantics, defined in
<a href="direct.html#3">Section 3</a>,
is a direct, standard model-theoretic semantics for
OWL ontologies written in the abstract syntax.
The other, defined in <a href="rdfs.html#5">Section 5</a>,
is a vocabulary extension of the RDF semantics
[<cite><a href="#ref-rdfmt">RDF Semantics</a></cite>] that provides semantics
for OWL ontologies in the form of RDF graphs.
Two versions of this second semantics are provided, one that corresponds
more closely to the direct semantics (and is thus a semantics for OWL DL)
and one that can be used in cases where classes need to be treated as
individuals or other situations that cannot be handled in the abstract
syntax (and is thus a semantics for OWL Full). These two versions are
actually very close, only differing in how they divide up the domain of
discourse.
</p>
<p>
<a href="proofs.html">Appendix A</a>
contains a proof that the direct and RDFS-compatible semantics have the same
consequences on OWL ontologies that correspond to abstract OWL
ontologies that separate OWL individuals, OWL classes, OWL properties,
and the RDF, RDFS, and OWL structural vocabulary.
<a href="proofs.html">Appendix A</a>
also contains the sketch of a proof that the entailments in the
RDFS-compatible semantics for OWL Full include all the entailments in
the RDFS-compatible semantics for OWL DL.
Finally a few examples of the various concepts defined in the document are
presented in <a href="examples.html">Appendix B</a>.
</p>
<p>
This document is designed to be read by those interested in the
technical details of OWL. It is not particularly intended for the
casual reader, who should probably first read the OWL Guide
[<cite><a href="#ref-guide">OWL Guide</a></cite>]. Developers of parsers
and other syntactic tools for
OWL will be particularly interested in Sections
<a href="syntax.html#2">2</a> and <a href="mapping.html#4">4</a>.
Developers of reasoners and other semantic tools for OWL will be
particularly interested in Sections
<a href="direct.html#3">3</a> and <a href="rdfs.html#5">5</a>.

clarified the <a href="mapping.html#separated_vocabulary">definition of separated
vocabulary</a> in <a href="mapping.html#4.2">Section 4.2</a>.
</li>
<li> [29 January 2004] In response to <a
href="http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/discovery/chatlogs/webont/2004-01-29#T17-08-44">http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/discovery/chatlogs/webont/2004-01-29#T17-08-44</a>,
made explicit in the definition of an RDF compatible OWL
interpretation in <a href="rdfs.html#5.2">Section 5.2</a> that an RDF
compatible datatype map necessarily includes a datatype for <span
class="syntax">rdf:XMLLiteral</span>.

<h2><a id="index" name="index">Index of Vocabulary (Informative)</a></h2>
<p>
The following table provides pointers to information about each
element of the OWL vocabulary, as well as some elements of the RDF and RDFS
vocabularies.
The first column points to the vocabulary element's major definition
in the abstract syntax of <a href="syntax.html#2">Section 2</a>.
The second column points to the vocabulary element's major definition
in the OWL Lite abstract syntax.
The third column points to the vocabularly element's major definition
in the direct semantics of <a href="direct.html#3">Section 3</a>.
The fourth column points to the major piece of the translation from
the abstract syntax to triples for the vocabulary element
<a href="mapping.html#4">Section 4</a>.
The fifth column points to the vocabularly element's major definition
in the RDFS-compatible semantics of <a href="rdfs.html#5">Section 5</a>.

<p>
The
<a href="http://www.daml.org/committee/">
Joint US/EU ad hoc Agent Markup Language Committee
</a>
developed DAML+OIL, which is the direct precursor to OWL.
Many of the ideas in DAML+OIL and thus in OWL are also present in the
<a href="http://www.ontoknowledge.org/index.shtml">
Ontology Inference Layer (OIL)</a>.
