Chartered to design “A Web ontology language, that
builds on current Web languages that allow the
specification of classes and subclasses, properties
and subproperties (such as RDFS),
but which extends these constructs to allow more
complex relationships between entities including:
- means to limit the properties of classes with
respect to number and type,
- means to infer that items with various properties
are members of a particular class,
- a well-defined model of property inheritance, and
- similar semantic extensions to the base
languages.”
