Thinking Clearly: “OWL 2″ is the Next Version of the Web Ontology Language

    Good to meet you at OWLED - hope you enjoy you're well earned beer :)

    So just to clarify...what we now commonly know as OWL1.1 has been relabelled OWL2.0, or will OWL2.0 be something different again?

    Hi John,

    Actually the next version will just be called "OWL 2", not "OWL 2.0". And it's not that OWL 1.1 has been relabelled. It's just that OWL 1.1 is the name of the OWLED-produced set of documents that were submitted to W3C to kick-start the OWL WG. They will always be called "OWL 1.1".

    Pellet 1.5.1 supports OWL 1.1.

    But the next version of the standard, blessed by W3C eventually, will be called "OWL 2". Some future version of Pellet will support that.
