This paper presents a parser for OWL DL. OWL DL, a sub-language of OWL, allows efficient reasoning with computability assurance. The OWL parser, named OntoP, has been developed specifically for the requirements of a larger framework: Ontology2DSL. Ontology2DSL enables the semi-automated construction of a formal grammar, as well as programs incorporating domain-specific languages (DSLs) from OWL ontologies. In this presentation of the parser, we focus on the data structure that the parser uses
