This probably falls under the banner of "Semantic Web Services". There 
was a W3C Interest Group on this topic, http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/swsig/
but it's recently closed. You might try the mailing list anyway, 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sws-ig/ or the more general 
www-ws list. Hope this helps,
