 * Abstract:


 * MarkGreaves: '''In this talk I will review the status of the DARPA's DAML program -- the flagship semantic web R&D program in the United States. DAML-funded researchers were key players in the development of OWL, OWL/S (OWL for Services), and SWRL (Semantic Web Rules Language), and they have created a large library of high-quality open source tools accessible at .  The DAML program ends this year having exceeded its original goals.  I will conclude with a discussion of the requirements for a new semantic web program at DARPA, and an invitation

to the Ontolog community.'''
