W3C WebOnt‘s OWL Lite
nWebOnt resolved to provide descriptions of a full OWL Language along with a limited version of OWL called OWL Lite.
nOWL Lite is contains a subset of language constructors available in full OWL.
nThe hope for OWL Lite is that it provides enough constructors that allow it to be useful to people needing more than what the alternatives such as RDFS provide while simultaneously containing few enough constructors to be simpler to implement, explain, and maintain than full OWL.
nThis presentation provides a readout of OWL Lite.  The best published documents covering OWL Lite include:
lFeature Synopsis:  http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-features/
lReference:    http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-ref/
lAbstract syntax:  http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-absyn/
lGuide (soon): http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-guide/
