The OWL Web Ontology Language is a new formal language
for representing ontologies in the Semantic Web. OWL has features from
several families of representation languages, including primarily Description
Logics and frames. OWL also shares many characteristics with RDF,
the W3C base of the Semantic Web. In this paper we discuss how the
philosophy and features of OWL can be traced back to these older formalisms,
with modifications driven by several other constraints on OWL.
Several interesting problems have arisen where these influences on OWL
have clashed.
