Neither OWL nor RDF is a programming language, so saying either one is
"high-level" in the programming language sense is a category mistake;
it makes no more sense than saying they are green or emotionally
unstable. "High-level" in the context of ontology languages refers to
the level of abstraction of a language's primitive constructs -- the
higher the level, the more general the language and hence (typically)
the fewer its primitives. (02)
