| OWL, the Web Ontology Language, is a W3C [[dido:99_annexes:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:ontology_language]] for the Semantic Web. OWL provides constructs for expressing classes, properties, individuals, axioms, and relationships with formally defined meaning. | OWL, the Web Ontology Language, is a W3C [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:ontology_language]] for the Semantic Web.

| OWL supports machine processing and reasoning over [[dido:99_annexes:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:ontology]] content. Systems use OWL for formal ontology expression, consistency checking, classification, and inference under OWL semantics. | OWL supports machine processing and reasoning over [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:ontology]] content.

| OWL is an ontology language. OWL does not define [[dido:99_annexes:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:semantic]] as a whole, and OWL does not define ontology as a modelling discipline. An architecture uses OWL to realise selected ontology content after defining the underlying domain meaning. | OWL is an ontology language.

| OWL documents express ontologies. OWL expression does not by itself establish validity. The [[dido:99_annexes:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conceptual_model]] and domain meaning govern the OWL expression. | OWL documents express ontologies.
