OIL (Ontology Inference Layer)
|
DESCRIPTION
"...
The Ontology Inference Layer OIL is a proposal for a web-based
representation and inference layer for ontologies, which
combines the widely used modelling primitives from frame-based
languages with the formal semantics and reasoning services
provided by description logics. It is compatible with
RDF Schema
(RDFS), and includes a precise
semantics
for describing term meanings (and thus also for describing
implied information)
...
OIL presents a layered approach to a standard ontology language.
Each additional layer adds functionality and complexity to the
previous layer. This is done such that agents (humans or
machines) who can only process a lower layer can still partially
understand ontologies that are expressed in any of the higher
layers
