On Standardization of the Web Ontology Language

Please note, these are the rough, un-layouted, draft versions. I know there are some little nits in there, but had not yet the time to fix them. Nevertheless, we wanted to get the stuff out quickly. The final and polished versions will appear in IEEE Intelligent Systems, March/April 2002. Steffen, February 15, 2002.
