Abstract
The W3C Ontology Working Group has recently developed OWL as an ontology language for the Semantic Web. OWL, however, fails to perform the process of reasoning about temporal knowledge because it lacks full-pleadged semantics for temporal language. Entities in the real world are changing as time passes, while new facts are being introduced as new events occur. KBs without temporal information are incomplete and incorrect. In this paper, we propose an extended temporal ontology language called TL-OWL which provides an abstract syntax and semantics for representing and reasoning about temporal information in the Semantic Web.
