OWL语言初步介绍 The OWL Web Ontology Language is an international standard for encoding and exchanging ontologies and is designed to support the Semantic Web. The concept of the Semantic Web is that information should be given explicit meaning, so that machines can process it more intelligently. Instead of just creating standard terms for concepts as is done in XML, the Semantic Web also allows users to provide formal definitions for the standard terms they create. Machines can then use inference algorithms to reason about the terms. For example, a semantic web search engine may conclude that a particular CD-read/write drive matches a query for “Storage Devices under $100.” Furthermore, if two different sets of terms are in turn defined using a third set of common terms, then it is possible to automatically perform (partial) translations between them. It is envisioned that the Semantic Web will enable more intelligent search, electronic personal assistants, more efficient e-commerce, and coordination of heterogeneous embedded systems.
