•Supported by W3C their new Semantic Web Activity
•
The DAML effort has been underway for less that a year. There is a broad base of world-class research teams working on various aspects of DAML. A total of 130 ontologies and over 2.2 million DAML statements have been created so far. Also, DAML is being developed in close collaboration with researchers in the European Union. DAML is being used as a key technology in the Horus project in support of the Intelink Management Office.
The project is closely aligned with the W3C, which has several members actively working on the DAML effort. Please visit our web site at www.daml.org to see more details on the effort and join any of several mailing lists for different aspects of the DAML work. You can also subscribe to the HotDAML Newsletter that periodically provides information on new DAML developments. The May issue of Scientific American contains very informative article on the Semantic Web which is also available via the daml.org website.
