SchemaWeb is a directory of RDF schemas expressed in the RDFS, OWL and DAML+OIL schema languages. SchemaWeb is a place for developers and designers working with RDF. It provides a comprehensive directory of RDF schemas to be browsed and searched by human agents and also an extensive set of web services to be used by software agents that wish to obtain real-time schema information whilst processing RDF data. RDF Schemas are the critical layer of the Semantic Web. They provide the semantic linkage that 'intelligent' software needs to extract value giving information from the raw data defined by RDF triples.

As the semantic web grows, there is the need for more and more formal ontology definitions in standard languages such as the Web Ontology Language (OWL) of the World Wide Web Consortium. With that said, there are numerous projects that predate OWL that can serve as useful foundations. One such project is bibTeX, a method of marking up bibliographic data, primarily for use in LaTeX documents, but also useful for generic bibliographic storage. This document describes bibTeX recast in OWL for use in RDF applications.
