Abstract

It has long been realized that the web could benefit from having its content understandable and available in a machine processable form, and it is widely agreed that ontologies will play a key role in providing much enabling infrastructure to achieve this goal. In this chapter we review briefly a selected history of Description Logics in web-based information systems, and the more recent developments related to OIL, DAML+OIL and the Semantic Web. OIL and DAML+OIL are ontology languages specifically designed for use on the web; they exploit existing web standards (XML, RDF and RDFS), adding the formal rigor of a Description Logic and the ontological primitives of object-oriented and frame-based systems.
