Hi, I am a beginner with the SWS technologies and have been doing some reading about the service discovery mechanims, mostly focussing on the OWL-s approach. What I can decipher is that, the "profile" is used by the service provider (to describe the capabilities) & service requestor ( to specify the request). Based on this, I have a couple of questions: -- 1.) Do we assume that the service requestor and the provider use the same ontology to describe the IOPE's ? 2.) If yes, then do we achieve "real" interoperability ? I think we are constraining ourselves as it is unrealistic for requestors & providers to have the same/shared ontologies. 3.) If no, can you give me an example of a service request & advertisement which uses different ontologies ? 4.) I believe the WSMO approach tries to address few things about mediation between ontologies. Should we do something like this for OWL-s too ? I will really appreciate some feedback on these issues. Regards, Jyoti.
