This is about an early browser called OWL, not the Web Ontology Language (OWL)[0].

Nor the Object Windows Library[1] which was used for early 90s apps, and for a moment I thought the article might have been discussing early UX of the Turbo Vision and OWL sort.

The browser was called Guide. OWL is the company name (or nickname, since the formal name was Office Workstations Ltd).
