    DAML+OIL</a></h3>

    <p>The <a
    href="http://www.w3.org/2002/11/swv2/charters/WebOntologyCharter">
    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
    Group does not explicitely endorse this converter or warrant
    its correct performance.</p>
