This decision
was based on two reasons. Firstly, OWL is a standard developed as a vocabulary
extension of RDF, RDFS, and is derived from DAML+OIL. The standardization of
OWL by the W3C allows semantics to move out of the research and development
community and into broad-based, commercial-grade platforms for building highly
distributed and cross-enterprise applications. Secondly, OWL provides a sound
theory of meaning from which to build highly expressive data models. It expresses
and includes a large set of primitives that are indispensable to building expressive
ontologies. Primitives include cardinality constraints, class expressions, data
types, enumerations, equivalence, and inheritance. OWL language is particularly
well suited to formalize ontologies for the tourism industry by defining classes and
properties of those classes and defining individuals and asserting properties about
them. Furthermore, it is possible to conduct advanced knowledge inference, compared
to other approaches.
Editor Selection
Ontology editors are tools that enable viewing, browsing, codifying, and modifying
ontologies.
