WebOnt’s OWL today looks like it will be similar to DAML+OIL
however some requirements will require modifications.
Leads to TRANSITION issues
q WebOnt begins with stable language of DAML+OIL and its tool
environments
q Expectations are that transition to OWL will not be difficult and will be
able to be automatically done
q Timeframe for re-evaluation is expected to be about a month
W3C integration is an excellent framework in which to facilitate both
technology push (dissemination of language/tools) and pull
(specifications/requirements from broad community).   This
connection accelerates the broad impact of the DAML program.
