Owls must turn their entire heads to look sideways, facilitated by relatively long and flexible necks that permit the head to be rotated through 270 degrees.
Owls feed entirely on living animals, with the size of the prey proportional to the size of the owl, from insects to mammals as large as hares.

 Web Ontology Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
OWL DL supports those users who want the maximum expressiveness while retaining computational completeness (all conclusions are guaranteed to be computed) and decidability (all computations will finish in finite time).
OWL DL includes all OWL language constructs, but they can be used only under certain restrictions (for example, while a class may be a subclass of many classes, a class cannot be an instance of another class).
OWL DL is so named due to its correspondence with description logic, a field of research that has studied the logics that form the formal foundation of OWL.

 Prariedog. The Animal In You
Owls have developed quite a reputation for intelligence but it's really their calm and insightful nature that gives this impression.

 OWL Web Ontology Language Overview
OWL is intended to be used when the information contained in documents needs to be processed by applications, as opposed to situations where the content only needs to be presented to humans.
OWL (and OWL Lite) cardinality restrictions are referred to as local restrictions, since they are stated on properties with respect to a particular class.
OWL Lite cardinality restrictions are limited because they only allow statements concerning cardinalities of value 0 or 1 (they do not allow arbitrary values for cardinality, as is the case in OWL DL and OWL Full).

 The future of filled aperture telescopes: OWL
We have constructed an imaging simulator for OWL and used it to determine the expected performance under various conditions.
To this one should add that the field of view would be much smaller, and that the image quality (in the sense of 'shape' of the PSF which though with a narrow core is very complex, and extended, in interferometry) much worse.
Two essential challenges underlie the fabrication of the optics of the 100-m OWL telescope: reasonable cost and lead-time for the primary mirror, feasibility for the highly aspheric quaternary mirror.
