Just to add a little clarification -- Common Logic (CL) is not itself
an ontology standard. It neither contains an ontology nor does it
tell anyone how to build one. Rather, CL is a specification that
picks out a broad class of logical languages ("dialects" in CL-speak)
that have a number of features that facilitate writing and sharing
ontologies on "open networks" like the Web. CL includes all
"standard" first-order languages as well as languages with extended
syntactic and semantic features that are particularly well-suited to
representing information as it is found in relatively anarchic
representational environments like the web. (02)
For the current draft standard, see http://common-logic.org/docs/cl/
24707-21-June-2006.pdf; see Chapter 5 for an overview of the
requirements driving CL's design. (03)
