document: DAML+OIL : an ontology language for the Semantic Web By all measures , the Web is enormous and growing at a staggering rate , which has made it increasingly difficult-and important-for both people and programs to have quick and accurate access to Web information and services . The Semantic Web offers a solution , capturing and exploiting the meaning of terms to transform the Web from a platform that focuses on presenting information , to a platform that focuses on understanding and reasoning with information . To support Semantic Web development , the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency launched the DARPA Agent Markup Language -LRB- DAML -RRB- initiative to fund research in languages , tools , infrastructure , and applications that make Web content more accessible and understandable . Although the US government funds DAML , several organizations-including US and European businesses and universities , and international consortia such as the World Wide Web Consortium-have contributed to work on issues related to DAML 's development and deployment . We focus on DAML 's current markup language , DAML+OIL , which is a proposed starting point for the W3C 's Semantic Web Activity 's Ontology Web Language -LRB- OWL -RRB- . We introduce DAML+OIL syntax and usage through a set of examples , drawn from a wine knowledge base used to teach novices how to build ontologies
