Apologies for missing the opening meeting - I missed the announcement. Here are a few thoughts on the first note. It should have some clear and specific objectives, perhaps with a broad overarching objective. Othewise, we will not get much done, or it will be a hodgepodge. For example: * to identify possible synergies between Semantic Web technologies and current model-based approaches to software engineering. Contents should include: * what do we mean by "model-based software engineering" (insert a different term, if you have one you prefer) * [as noted] an overview of existing "model-based approaches" to software engineering and other relevant approaches. * what are the potential benefits of these approaches * what does the Semantic Web bring to the table * what are the potential benefits of Semantic Web technologies for software engineering, as compared to other similar approaches * what are some recommendations for how to proceed to make further progress THis is a bit researchy actually. We will need to stay fairly grounded.

The initial focus of the Task Force should be to prepare at least one note characterising current thinking on the application of the Semantic Web in Software Engineering. This may take some time to produce, allowing for ideas to mature through active debate, and should include high level descriptions relating to current areas of interest, at least including: o Ontology Driven Architectures (ODA) o Self-Organising Systems o Composite Identification Schemes o Highly Adaptive Interfaces Work on this is already ongoing, but no deadline has yet been set for this deliverable. 2. Ideas relating to specific lower level concepts, approaches and schemes should either be published via separate notes or be passed on to other task forces/working groups for further consideration. Hence, a second more detailed note on the creation and use of composite identification schemes on the Semantic Web is supported and action is underway to make this available for publication from the Task Force in the near future. 3. Members have been asked to consider ideas for other notes. 4. Given that the concept of the application of the Semantic Web in Software Engineering is very much in its infancy, a task force duration for six months or less appear too short for an sufficiently informed consensus of opinion to form. Guidance is hence required on the most appropriate approach needed to support such a piece of work. 5. The Task Force intends to meet informally at the tech plenary in Boston.
