	DAML - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On the Semantic Web, the DARPA agent markup language (DAML) aims to enable the next generation of the web — a web that moves from simply displaying content to one that actually understands the meaning of the content.
		The DAML program has generated the DAML+OIL markup language.
		Current research into DAML is leading toward the expression of ontologies and rules for reasoning and action.

	DAML - a Whatis.com definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		DAML (DARPA Agent Markup Language) is a markup language for the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) that is based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML).
		DAML is designed to have a greater capacity than XML for describing objects and the relationships between objects, to express semantics, and to create a higher level of interoperability among Web sites.
		DAML agents can be embedded in code and maintain awareness of their environment, are user-directed, but have the capacity to behave autonomously.

	Topic maps, RDF, DAML, OIL
		DAML is not defined by any standards body, but is published on daml.org, a site run as part of the DAML program.
		DAML seems to be entirely focused on supporting the semantic web, though one would assume that it also has other uses.
		DAML and OIL use the same data model as RDF, which they do not enrich, and to which they contribute very little in the way of semantics, and so no further consideration needs to be given to them.

	SHOE/DAML Comparison
		DAML does not have n-ary relations, but any n-ary relation can be translated into an equivalent set of binary relations.
		In DAML, it is convenient to nest properties about the same subject inside a tag the defines the type of the subject (see previous row).
		It is most convenient to nest DAML properties inside a tag that represents the class of the subject.

	Overview
		The DAML API is a collection of Java interfaces and utility classes that implement an interface for managing DAML ontologies.
		DAML Property Instances, roughly corresponding to RDF triples, are maintained as an extension of DAML property.
		Factory methods are provided to build DAML Ontologies from RDF models and to conversely generate RDF models from DAML Ontologies.

		To implement this DAML needs to include at least constructs for defining new predicates based on the conjunction of other predicates (like in deductive databases).
		Issuing a DAML query is analogous to issuing an SQL query against a database.
		DAML should be open to embedding “objects” that are actually full-fledged descriptions in other formal languages.

		A group of us have decided to collaborate to develop a representative ontology of time for DAML, which could then be used as is or elaborated on by others needing such an ontology.
		DAML is under development and is thus a moving target, and that is why separating 1 and 2 is desirable.

	UML and DAML Properties
		The name of the element is used to identify the property, and its directionality is used to determine range and domain.
		When creating DAML from UML the scope of each element should be honored, only converting Public scope elements.
		Since DAML properties are ontology wide in scope, conflicts might arise from attributes in different classes having the same name.

	DAML @ UMBC: Proposal Tasks
		This is the key insight of the DAML program -- to promulgate a universal web markup language that is sufficiently rich to support intelligent agents and other applications.
		DAML is envisioned as a web-based markup language that has the expressive power of at least a large subset of first order logic.
		Finally, we will design, develop and maintain a vertical portal for DAML (http://daml.org) that will simultaneously serve as a useful resource for the DAML research community, gather raw information required for our own (and other's) evaluation efforts, and serve as a testbed for components of our own work.

		It is a bit frustrating to be limited to only those OWL documents that have been found by the DAML crawler, but this may not be a permanent limitation and if the crawler does a good enough job it may not matter.
		DAML VisuaLinks is not a product in itself, nor is code available for anyone to run.
		End users should be able to use any DAML document within their reach as input to this tool, including DAML documents that they have never seen before and have no prior knowledge of.

		Although DAML is not a W3C initiative, several familiar faces from the W3C, including Tim Berners-Lee, participated in its development.
		The DAML group soon pooled efforts with the Ontology Inference Layer (OIL) [OILHOME], another effort providing more sophisticated classification, using constructs from frame-based AI.
		This approach should be familiar to functional language programmers, and it has the benefit that you cannot add items to this list without replacing one of the statements that make up the list, unlike RDF containers, to which elements can be added without disrupting the existing list statements.

	DAML Query Language
		This note describes a query language for RDF that has a simple basis but can handle very general queries by incorporating DAML [1] class expressions.
		The result of this query is the set of all statements with a subject of type class and a predicate of property1 or property2 etc.
		The foregoing queries all produce homogenous results, that is, the same properties are queried for every instance in the result set.

		DAML, the DARPA Agent Markup Language, is an XML-based semantic description language for embedding semantics (or concepts) within Web content, for developing Ontologies that describe and relate concepts (across the web), and for declaring and using logical axioms for reasoning about the annotated context.
		As a precursor for OWL - Web Ontology Language, DAML has played (and continues to play) a core role within the vision of the Semantic Web.

	DMA2ICal - DAML Meeting Agenda -> ICal Translater Agent Homepage
		Agents such as the Retsina Calendar Agent (developed as part of the CMU DAML effort), which reasons about schedules marked up using the ICal Ontology, can utilize translation services such as the DMA2ICal Agent to access and "understand" schedules marked up using other ontologies.
		The DAML Meeting Agenda Ontology was particularly designed to accommodate shuffling and resizing of talks during meeting planning (by specifying durations rather than actual times), and to provide an archival record of the meeting (by providing links to speakers and briefings).
		The following examples are taken from past DARPA DAML meetings, and include the html markup (generated by Mike Dean'sGenHTML WWW Form Interface).
