From SHIQ and RDF to OWL: the making of a Web Ontology Language
TLDR
This paper discusses how the philosophy and features of OWL can be traced back to these older formalisms, with modifications driven by several other constraints on OWL.About:

Resource Description Framework (RDF)
Nicholas Gibbins,Nigel Shadbolt +1 more
TL;DR: An introduction to RDF and its related vocabulary definition language RDF Schema is provided, and its relationship with the OWL Web Ontology Language is explained.
Proceedings Article
Pushing the EL envelope
TL;DR: This work identifies a set of expressive means that can be added to EL without sacrificing tractability, and shows that basically all other additions of typical DL constructors to EL with GCIs make subsumption intractable, and in most cases even EXPTIME-complete.

A survey of context modelling and reasoning techniques
Claudio Bettini,Oliver Brdiczka,Karen Henricksen,Jadwiga Indulska,Daniela Nicklas,Anand Ranganathan,Daniele Riboni +6 more
TL;DR: The requirements that context modelling and reasoning techniques should meet are discussed, including the modelling of a variety ofcontext information types and their relationships, of situations as abstractions of context information facts, of histories of contextInformation, and of uncertainty of context Information.

FaCT++ description logic reasoner : System description
Dmitry Tsarkov,Ian Horrocks +1 more
TL;DR: FaCT++ as discussed by the authors implements a tableaux decision procedure for the well known SHOIQ description logic, with additional support for datatypes, including strings and integers, and can be used to provide reasoning services for ontology engineering tools supporting the OWL DL ontology language.

OWL Web Ontology Language - Reference
Mike Dean,A.T. Schreiber,S. Bechofer,F.A.H. van Harmelen,James A. Hendler,Ian Horrocks,D. MacGuinness,Peter F. Patel-Schneider,Lynn Andrea Stein +8 more
TL;DR: This document contains a structured informal description of the full set of {owL} language constructs and is meant to serve as a reference for {OWL} users who want to construct {OWl} ontologies.
RDF Vocabulary Description Language 1.0 : RDF Schema. W3C Proposed Recommendation
TL;DR: The Resource Description Framework (RDF) as mentioned in this paper is a general-purpose language for representing information in the Web. This specification defines a vocabulary for this purpose and defines other built-in RDF vocabulary initially specified in the RDF Model and Syntax Specification.

Semantic Web services
TL;DR: The authors propose the markup of Web services in the DAML family of Semantic Web markup languages, which enables a wide variety of agent technologies for automated Web service discovery, execution, composition and interoperation.
Book
The Description Logic Handbook
TL;DR: This introduction presents the main motivations for the development of Description Logics as a formalism for representing knowledge, as well as some important basic notions underlying all systems that have been created in the DL tradition.
