  Scope
  -----

  There are a great many relationships to existing Semantic Web
  efforts as well as to existing Web Services development, including:

     Semantic Web background technologies; e.g. RDF, OWL
     Web Services background technologies; e.g. SOAP, WSDL
     Registries, taxonomies, and search mechanisms; e.g. UDDI
     Rule languages; e.g. SWRL
     Ontologies for Web Services; e.g. OWL-S, WSMO
     Web Services Choreography; e.g. WS-CDL
     Business process; e.g. BPEL4WS

  Discussion of the relationship of these areas to the workshop topic is
  encouraged.

  We are looking forward to your participation and contributions to this
  workshop.
