Today the OWLlink Working Group announces the publication of the final OWLlink protocol specification <http://www.owlink.org>. The OWLlink interface provides an implementation-neutral mechanism for communication between OWL 2 components. It is a refinement of the outdated DIG protocol, fully aligned with the just released Web Ontology Language OWL 2. A key feature of OWLlink is its extensibility w.r.t the language and its flexibility in supporting multiple transfer protocols. The OWLlink core specification consists of the following 3 parts: o Structural Specification <http://www.owllink.org/owllink/> o HTTP/XML Binding <http://www.owllink.org/owllink-httpxml> o HTTP/Functional Binding <http://www.owllink.org/owllink-httpfunctional> OWLlink has already been implemented in a set of tools: o The RacerPro Reasoner v2.0 <http://www.racer-systems.com/> o The Prolog OWL 2 API Thea <http://wiki.github.com/vangelisv/thea> o An OWLAPI connector <http://owllink-owlapi.sourceforge.net/> that allows: - OWLAPI clients to access OWLlink aware reasoners and - OWLAPI reasoners to be accessed via OWLlink Best Regards, The OWLlink Working Group
