re: Draft charters for work on Semantics for WS

I'm teaching a graduate seminar entitled "Advanced Semantic Web" here 
at Maryland,  One of the people sitting in on the course is Zhexuan 
(Jeff) Song, who works at Fujitsu Labs of America.  Jeff works on 
their Task Computing project [1] which is focused on using semantics 
to compose Web services, and he did a presentation last night 
comparing WSDL-S, OWL-S grounding, data dictionary link and the WSDL 
to RDF mapping from the WSD WG.    His slides [2] are the best 
discussion of this comparison I've seen to date, and he has given me 
permission to post this note pointing you to them --  for those 
trying to understand what is similar and different about these 
approaches, and to understand some of the vocabulary of this 
argument, these are a great starting place
  -Jim Hendler
p.s. if the WG is formed, I suggest Jeff's slides would be good to 
include in the useful links section of their Web page.
