Matching requests and services using DAML-S

Hi All,

A trivial qt. on automated matchmaking between service requests and 
service advertisements. While, the advertisements are expressed as 
ontologies(a daml file) and stored in registries, is it necessary for 
the requests to be expressed in DAML-Sl as well for effective 
matchmaking?.What happens if the requests are in other formats?, do they 
need to be translated using a daml-s translator ?

Any thoughts would be very helpful.
