Hi All, I am interested in creating my own Ontology using OWL-S for an application involving distributed multimedia with QoS. My question involves the overlap between OWL-S and WSDL. I read this from the article "OWL-S: Semantic Markup for Web Services": == As indicated by Figure 3, the two languages do overlap in the area of providing for the specification of what WSDL calls ``abstract types'', which in turn are used to characterize the inputs and outputs of services. WSDL, by default, specifies abstract types using XML Schema, whereas OWL-S allows for the definition of abstract types as (description logic-based) OWL classes 5. == http://www.daml.org/services/owl-s/1.1B/owl-s/owl-s.html == Does this mean that chunks of OWL-S defining atomic processes and inputs/outputs can be directly re-used as the WSDL operations and messages? Thanks for any advice!
