Lo que hace OWL es proporcionar un lenguaje para definir ontologías estructuradas que pueden ser utilizadas a través de diferentes sistemas. Las ontologías, que se encargan de definir los términos utilizados para describir y representar un área de conocimiento, son utilizadas por los usuarios, las bases de datos y las aplicaciones que necesitan compartir información específica, es decir, en un campo determinado como puede ser el de las finanzas, medicina, deporte, etc. Las ontologías incluyen definiciones de conceptos básicos en un campo determinado y la relación entre ellos. 1, record 1, Spanish, - lenguaje%20de%20ontolog%C3%ADas%20web
