Re: [OWL-S]: Proposal for 1 new control construct

Based on our discussion, here's a variant proposal to allow inputs to be 
"set" to the outputs of other steps.

How about this:


<process:Perform>
     <process resource="#AtomicProcess5"/>
   <withInput>
     <Binding>
        <ofParameter resource="#AP5Input1"/>  ;; must be a parameter of 
AtomicProcess5
        <source>
             <ProcessOutput>
                <step resource="#perform29"/>     ;; must be a Perform 
within the same Composite Process
                <param resource="#output10"/>     ;; must be an output of 
the process named in #perform29
              </ProcessOutput>
           </source>
        </Binding>
     </withInput>
   <assignOutput>
     <Assignment>
        <toParameter resource="#ParentOutput7"/>   ;; must be a parameter 
of some step in the same composite, or a "LOCAL" or output parameter of the 
parent process.
        <fromOutputParameter resource="#Output5/>  ;; must be a parameter 
of AtomicProcess5
      </Assignment>
    </assignOutput>
</process:Perform>
