Perhaps some members of this community are interested: The newest release 105 of the Protege OWL Plugin is now able to load, edit and save ontologies in OWL-S 1.0 and SWRL. Protege is an open-source ontology development platform, and the OWL Plugin has become one of the most popular OWL tools on the web. This means that a basic infrastructure for creating and editing Semantic Web services is available, and the simple default user interface of Protege can be used to instantiate the OWL-S classes. Future work here at Stanford or elsewhere will lead to additional extensions for editing OWL services and rules much more conveniently. Contact me if you'd like to coordinate future work. Given the early state of this, I would appreciate feedback (best via the protege-owl mailing list). There may be bugs in here, since I had to make some low-level changes to allow to represent OWL Full elements such as subclasses of rdf:List. I did little testing on the OWL-S stuff except from loading the meta ontologies. Here is how to get started: - Install Protege 0) Go to http://protege.stanford.edu/plugins/owl/ 1) Install the latest Protege 2.1 beta release 2) Download the OWL Plugin and unzip it into the plugins folder 3) Start Protege: You should now see OWL Files as one option - Import the OWL-S ontology: 4) Create a new OWL Files ontology 5) Go to OWL/Define Import Policy... 6) Select for example "process" and click "Add namespace and prefix to current ontology" 7) On the metadata tab, click import behind "process" 8) Save and reload your project You can then create Service instances using the Individuals tab. The Congo example currently does not load due to the bugs in the file (one of which I recently reported to this list). Holger
