Abstract

Ontologies are artifacts used to model and represent in an explicit way knowledge related to a particular domain in terms of concepts, relations between concepts and axioms. In this article we provide an overview of ontology languages that have been defined under the umbrella of the W3C consortium. These language are characterized by different levels of expressiveness, starting from RDF, a simple language to express statements in the form of triples, to OWL, which enables very expressive forms of inference.
