TITLE: Ontology versioning DESCRIPTION: The Requirements Document states that ontology evolution is an important design goal and that versioning information is a requirement for OWL. However, DAML+OIL has very limitied support for versioning information. It only has a tag called "daml:versionInfo" which contains an unstructured string. To support machine processing, OWL needs explict structured information related to versions, such as capabilities to point to prior versions, specify backward-compatibility, and to deprecate terms (i.e., state that they are available for backwards-compatibility only).
