RE: Executing OWL-S/Profile

Haha..Sure, I no longer suppose that now. But I'm still concerned about syntax
issues. I also read some papers using BPEL to support OWL-S or vice versa.

OWL-S process models are perfectly executable. As mentioned, our group 
has a native OWL-S executer (in our OWL-S API), as does CMU (with their 
DAML/OWL-S virtual machine). Neither of these compile to BPEL or ebXML.

Fujistu's Task Computing project uses the OWL-S API with our reasonable 
Pellet to support user driven composition of OWL-S described services 
and the execution of those compositions (i.e., CompositeServices). 
We've published on our use of the SHOP2 planner to automate composition 
of executable OWL-S compositions.

Hmm. Now I notice the past tense of your "supposed". Does this mean you 
no longer suppose that?

Cheers,
Bijan.
