<h3>Recommendations</h3>

<p>
  The following is a list of W3C recommendations on OWL, taken verbatim from
  the W3C's <a href="/2004/OWL/">Web Ontology Language (OWL)</a>
  page.
</p>

<ul>
  <li>
    <cite><a href="/TR/owl-features/" class="title">OWL Web
    Ontology Language Overview</a></cite><br />
     W3C Recommendation <span class="date">10 Feb 2004</span>.
    Deborah L. McGuinness and Frank van Harmelen eds.
    <p>
      formerly <cite>Feature Synopsis for OWL Lite and
      OWL</cite>
    </p>
    <blockquote>
      <p>
        The OWL Web Ontology Language is designed for use by
        applications that need to process the content of
        information instead of just presenting information to
        humans. OWL facilitates greater machine
        interpretability of Web content than that supported by
        XML, RDF, and RDF Schema (RDF-S) by providing
        additional vocabulary along with a formal semantics.
        OWL has three increasingly-expressive sublanguages: OWL
        Lite, OWL DL, and OWL Full.
