Hello all - For some time now, the OWL-S Coalition has been conducting public technical discussions on www-ws@w3.org. More recently, the SWSI language committee also started using www-ws, and I believe the SWSI architecture committee also has the intention of doing so. Now, with the formation of the new Semantic Web Services Interest Group, there is a more appropriate forum for these discussions. With the kind permission of the Interest Group chair, Carine Bournez, the above-mentioned committees will begin using public-sws-ig@w3.org for public technical discussions, *effective immediately*. If you aren't subscribed to public-sws-ig, subscription information can be found here: http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/swsig/ To help keep things sorted out, we will follow the convention of prefixing subject lines with one of the following: "OWL-S:" "SWSL:" "SWSA:" The OWL-S Coalition (also known as the DAML-S Coalition) is a group of researchers, most of whom have some funding from DARPA's DAML research program, who are developing a Semantic Web Services language called OWL-S (Ontology Web Language for Services), formerly called DAML-S. The currently available release is OWL-S 0.9; release 1.0 will be announced some time this month. Please visit here for more info: http://www.daml.org/services/ SWSI (the Semantic Web Services Initiative) is a closely-related international effort, which includes European Semantic Web researchers and an international collection of industrial affiliates, in addition to some OWL-S members. SWSI, whose efforts got underway earlier this year, will build upon OWL-S to produce a 2nd-generation SWS language that addresses a wider range of requirements, based on the consensus of a broader international group of participants.
