Małe odstępstwo do pełnej spójności

Why not be inconsistent in at least one aspect of a language which is all about consistency?
— Guus Schreiber, Why OWL and not WOL?

The natural initialism for Web Ontology Language would be WOL instead of OWL. Although the character Owl from Winnie-the-Pooh wrote his name WOL, the acronym OWL was proposed without reference to that character, as an easily pronounced acronym that would yield good logos, suggest wisdom, and honor William A. Martin's One World Languageknowledge representation project from the 1970s.
