  abstract =	 {Currently, computers are changing from single
                  isolated devices to entry points into a worldwide
                  network of information exchange and business
                  transactions. Support in the exchange of data,
                  information, and knowledge is becoming the key issue
                  in computer technology today. Ontologies provide a
                  shared and common understanding of a domain that can
                  be communicated between people and across
                  application systems. Ontologies will play a major
                  role in supporting information exchange processes in
                  various areas. A prerequisite for such a role is the
                  development of a joint standard for specifying and
                  exchanging ontologies well integrated with existing
                  Web standards. This article deals with precisely
                  this necessity. The authors present OIL, a proposal
                  for such a standard enabling the semantic Web. It is
                  based on existing proposals such as OKBC, XOL, and
                  RDFS and enriches them with necessary features for
                  expressing rich ontologies. The article presents the
                  motivation, underlying rationale, modeling
                  primitives, syntax, semantics, tool environment, and
                  applications of OIL.},
