Semantic web services? Use cases...

We have a large (circa 3000) registry of public biomedical services 
(mostly web services) built as part of the myGrid project [1], one way 
of using these services is through the Taverna workbench [2].

Currently these are being annotated in RDF and/or OWL although a 
human-readable list [3] is also available. (See also BioMOBY post on 
homologs for yeast proteins earlier [4])...

I have a set of use cases* for describing these services in order to 
facilitate their (semi-)automagic discovery and interoperation using 
reasoning. Vipul, can we incorporate these into the "Ontology Working 
Group" deliverable somehow?
