- Description: Abstract: Ontologies in a web setting, particularly those used in a group context (such as a virtual community), need to be flexible and open to changes that reflect the evolution of knowledge. OWL the ontology language of the semantic web provides very little for facilitating the description of evolutionary changes in an ontology. We propose a dynamic web ontology language (dOWL), an extension to OWL, which consists of a set of elements that can be used to model these evolutionary changes in an ontology.

- Description: There are three main activities involved in managing ontology change. Firstly we need to identify changes, secondly describe these identified changes, and finally describe and handle the ramifications of the changes. In previous work we have presented a language (DOWL) for describing ontology change and in this paper we demonstrate how changes described in this language can be represented in the RDF abstract syntax which enables us to describe the ramifications of a change in a formal manner. This formalism can provide the basis for an automated ontology change management system.
