Dear SWS-IG members, not having read the requirements document, I'd like to note that the name "Semantic Web Services" can be parsed in two ways: Semantic WS or SemWeb Services. The former enriches WS with semantic technologies (that's the OWL-S, WSMO direction), the latter envisions machine-to-machine distributed computing over the Semantic Web. I'm not sure the document makes the distinction or that it sides one or the either direction, but whoever actually makes this distinction and sides one of the approaches should be aware that there can be misunderstandings popping up when the difference shows but people are not explicit about their positions. I believe the post below (by Mark Baker) implies the first meaning of the phrase Semantic Web services, for example.
