Hello all, I am highly interested in contributing to Semantic Grid goals, especially OWL-S. Just to introduce myself, my recent research contribution is dynamic and seamless integration of Software Agents in FIPA Multi Agent Systems and W3C Web Services. I want to get involved in core Semantic Grid issues e.g. OWL-S. I want to propose and prove some enhancements in OWL-S based on my experience in Autonomous Agents and Multi Agent Systems. This mail group seams very relevant to discuss regarding this. I have studied the latest release of OWL-S, "OWL-S: Semantic Markup of Web Services" (1.1). They have basically tried to build general purpose ontology but again this doesn’t seem very promising to me. They have specified some fixed set of description of a service (but in more detail than that of WSDL). I have some questions related to it. 1) Would OWL-S replace WSDL? 2) Would ordinary Web Service Clients be able to do dynamic invocation, discovery, composition, execution monitoring etc of Web Services using OWL-S ? 3) Does all goals of OWL-S i.e. invocation, discovery, composition, execution monitoring etc of Web Services are focusing on enhancements/replacement of just the Service Description Language or anything else as well? 4) Dynamic invocation, discovery, composition etc. is understandable but what does execution/execution monitoring actually means? Again, I highly appreciate the efforts of the people regarding OWL-S. Best Regards, M.
