Abstract

The Semantic Web is a vision of the next generation Web, which aims at machine understandability. “Semantic” markup will be added to Web resources, specifying their meanings so as to make them more accessible to software agents. Markups will use ontologies for shared understanding within certain domain. DAML+OIL [van Harmelen et al., 2001] is aWeb ontology language, which is compatible with existingWeb standards, i.e. RDF. It is formally specified and have adequate expressive power-on the one hand, it is much more expressive than RDF, while on the other hand, it is believed to be still decidable.
