Description

This document normatively defines the ebXML Registry profile for Web Ontology Language (OWL) Lite. More specifically, this document normatively specifies how OWL Lite constructs SHOULD be represented by ebXML RIM constructs without causing any changes in the ebXML Registry architecture specification. Furthermore, this document normatively specifies the code to process some of the OWL semantics through parameterized (generic) stored procedures that SHOULD be made available from the ebXML Registry.
These predefined stored queries provide the necessary means to exploit the enhanced semantics stored in the Registry. Hence, an application program does not have to develop additional code to process this semantics. In this way, it becomes possible to retrieve not only explicit but also the implied knowledge through queries, the enhancements to the registry are generic and also the registry specification is kept intact. The capabilities provided, move the semantics support beyond what is currently available in ebXML registries and it does so by using a standard ontology language.
