(Forwarded with permission of sender) Jim Hendler Chairman W3C OWL Working Group 2 September 2003 Dear Jim, FIPA, the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents, is the premier standards body for developing and deploying agents for interoperability in heterogeneous environments. As such, it gives the FIPA Board of Directors great pleasure in officially giving its endorsement for the W3C's Web Ontology Language (1.0) and supports its move to Candidate Recommendation. FIPA recognises that ontologies and their formal description languages are criticial to the vision of the Semantic Web and also to enabling software agents to interpret their environment in a more meaningful ways. The Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) is an international consortium of industrial and university partners formed in 1996. Its mission is the promotion of technologies and interoperability specifications that facilitate the end-to-end interworking of intelligent agent systems in modern commercial and industrial settings. More information about FIPA can be found at www.fipa.org. Michael S. Kerstetter President/Board of Directors The Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents
