Abstract There were basic features of ontology specification languages introduced in this article briefly. 13 important kinds of them were analysed and compared according to the framework formulated by Asunción Gómez-Pérez and Oscar Corcho, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. The conclusion was: Loom, CycL and OWL were the better choices for users to mark up ontologies.
