About OWL

The OWL (Web Ontology Language) is a formal language, used to represent

knowledge about a subject domain by describing the concepts and relationships
between them. It is part of the web ontology stack, which also includes RDF
(Resource Description Framework) and RDFS (RDF Schema).

OWL is used to define ontologies, which are formal representations of a set of

concepts within a domain and the relationships between those concepts. By using
OWL to build ontologies, we can create more structured and machine-readable data.

OWL has three sub-languages of different expressivity, OWL Lite, OWL DL, and OWL
Full. OWL Lite is the least expressive, with fewer constructs but is easier to
understand and has better computational properties. OWL DL is the most commonly
used subset of OWL, and it is easier to reason with compared to OWL Full since it has
more restrictions. OWL Full is the most expressive subset, but it's also the hardest to
use since it has fewer restrictions and is undecidable.

OWL is used for many applications that require structured data and reasoning on
that data. It is used to create ontologies for the Semantic Web and Linked Data,
artificial intelligence, and knowledge management.
