<p>The <a

Working Group Charter</a> cites the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/daml+oil-reference">DAML+OIL W3C
Note</a> as an important influence and starting place for
working group deliberations. The <a
href="http://www.daml.org/2002/06/webont/owl-ref-proposed">Editor's
Draft of the <i>OWL Web Ontology Language 1.0 Reference</i></a>
contains <a
href="http://www.daml.org/2002/06/webont/owl-ref-proposed#appd">
Appendix D</a> 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.</p>
<p>In addition, <a
href="http://www.mindswap.org/2002/owl.html">a converter for
changing DAML+OIL files into OWL</a>has been written by
Jennifer Golbeck, a graduate student at the University of
Maryland. This link is provided for convenience, the Working
