I know of one example of work that chose OWL Lite as its support target. It is the ebXML Registry Profile for OWL v1.5 which is a Committee Specification from OASIS. It is available from http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/22611/regrep-owl-profile-v1.5-cd01.zip which I think is public and also http://xml.coverpages.org/OASIS-regrepOWL-Profile-22611.pdf. This profile defines a way to extend an ebXML RegRep 3 based repository implementation to support storage of OWL based content and simulate some reasoning on that content. It's been some time since I reviewed this specification, but as I remember it doesn't really completely support OWL Lite. It supports RDFS-style constructs plus OWL constructs such as OWL metaproperties and equivalence axioms (and OWL Lite cardinality restrictions but only as necessary conditions). It does this by defining a standard extension to ebRIM, the underlying data model for the RegRep, and defining standard stored procedures associated with elements in the extension. In this way it is similar in spirit to OWL Prime and RDFS++. I would think that an OWL Datalog fragment could actually be a better fit than OWL Lite. -Evan Alan Ruttenberg asked: > > On Jan 24, 2008, at 8:52 PM, Jim Hendler wrote: >> there are companies/organizations that have tools claiming to support >> OWL Lite, > > Hi Jim, > > For the record, could you send us pointers to the companies and > organizations that claims support for OWL-Lite? > > Thanks, > Alan > >
