Bjoern, we have been doing some research [1] into this issue and did not come up with a reasonable solution to your request yet. I have emailed the WS-description WG asking them for advice [2] and am waiting to hear back from them. At the moment, there is not much we can do, but if you have any new insights, we are all ears. Once I get a response from the WSDL WG, I will post the list with the updates so please stay tuned. -Elias [1]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2007JanMar/0112 [2]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-desc-comments/2007Mar/0009.html
