Abstract
The Semantic Web envisions a metadata-rich Web where presently human-readable
content will have machine-understandable semantics. The Web Ontology Language
(OWL) from W3C is an expressive formalism for modelers to define various logical
concepts and relations. OWL ontologies come in three species: Lite, DL, and Full, or-
dered in increasing expressivity. Every Lite ontology is also a DL ontology, and every
DL ontology is also a Full ontology. OWL Lite and OWL DL are the species that use
only the OWL language features in the way that complete and sound reasoning proce-
dures exist. OWL Full, on the other hand, is undecidable. While OWL recently became
a W3C recommendation in 2004, people have been working with it a few years, and
many interesting ontologies already exist on the Web. We are interested in evaluating
these ontologies and see if there are interesting trends in modeling practices, OWL con-
struct usages, and OWL species utilization.
