Chair's decision to revisit Jan 3 decision: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Nov/0213.html
PROPOSAL to resolve this naming issue as follows: We call our language "the Web Ontology Language OWL". Rationale:
- "Web Ontology Language" is a much better term than "Ontology Web Language"
- the WDs have used the name "The Web Ontology Language OWL" for some time now and no serious objections have been recorded
- those wanting a rationale for the relation between the full name and the acronym may be referred to Winnie the Pooh: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Sep/0301.html
