OWL

Knowledge representation language

Owls are nocturnal birds of prey with large forward-facing eyes, flat faces, and the ability to rotate their heads dramatically.

They hunt silently, swooping on rodents and small mammals.

Because they emerge at night and have an unblinking stare, owls symbolize wisdom in Western culture: a wise old owl.

A night owl is someone who stays up late.
