Q&A

15.12.04 revd 20.12.06 CmpE 583 Fall 2006 Discussion: OWL- 4

Levels of OWL: Why 3?

Why not a single OWL? 2 or 4 levels of OWL?

Why more than one level? Why 3 levels?

Levels defined: capability completeness.

Complexity

Complexity issue: If OWL Lite and OWL DL ontologies are

integrated, would the resultant case be more complex than both put together? In other words, do we need to resort to OWL Full in that

case?

Future Ontologies

What does the future hold in its store for ontologies: Talks on OO-oriented ontologies: when OWL++ ? A framework for ontologies: .OWL Framework?
