Abstract—Ontologies have been becoming a hot research topic for the application in artificial intelligence, semantic web, Software Engineering, Library Science and information Architecture. Ontology is a formal representation of set of concepts within a domain and relationships between those concepts. It is used to reason about the properties of that domain and may be used to define the domain. An ontology language is a formal language used to encode the ontologies. A number of research languages have been designed and released during the past few years by the research community. They are both proprietary and standard based. In this paper a study has been reported on the different features and issues of these languages. This paper also addresses the challenges for research community in the further development of ontology languages.
