Relationship with DAML+OIL

The Working Group Charter cites the DAML+OIL W3C Note as an important influence and starting place for working group deliberations. The Editor's Draft of the OWL Web Ontology Language 1.0 Reference contains Appendix D which describes changes between DAML+OIL and OWL. This document should not be considered authoritative and is provided for the convenience of those wishing a short description of the changes.

In addition, a converter for changing DAML+OIL files into OWLhas been written by Jennifer Golbeck, a graduate student at the University of Maryland. This link is provided for convenience, the Working Group does not explicitely endorse this converter or warrant its correct performance.
