[SEM-GRD] OWL has advanced to "candidate recommendation"

[David De Roure <dder@ecs.soton.ac.uk>]

Hello,

As part of our role is to track W3C Semantic Web developments, I 
thought I'd let people know that the OWL Web Ontology Language has
recently advanced to "candidate recommendation" status.  

See the press release on http://www.w3.org/2003/08/owl-pressrelease

The next step is a "proposed recommendation", which is achieved when 
each feature has been implemented (preferably in two interoperable
implementations).

BTW I also recommend the OWL FAQ on http://www.w3c.org/2003/08/owlfaq

Regards

-- Dave
