I would like to see if Drs. Hendler, McDermott, Parsia or anyone in this group could explain the logical conflicts as I mentioned in this thread. Thanks very much in advance. -----Original Message----- From: Shi, Xuan To: 'Joachim Peer '; 'jeff@inf.ed.ac.uk ' Cc: 'Harry Halpin '; 'public-sws-ig@w3.org ' Sent: 11/25/05 2:17 PM Subject: RE: Where are the semantics in the semantic Web? Importance: High When Tim Berners-Lee defined the semantic Web, the word "semantic" meant "machine processable". Now that Web services are designed for "machine-processable", WSDL is criticized as not "semantic". The word "semantic" in Semantic Web Services seems different from that in Semantic Web? If Tim Berners-Lee's definition is still effective, we can understand both XML and RDF/OWL are machine-processible. Which way we should go? Still it's an issue of agreement and standardization, otherwise, we have to continue our debate. Especially according to Tim Berners-Lee's definition, WSDL is machine-processible then why should we again add "semantics" onto such machine-processible (thus "semantic") WSDL document? Or we are talking about something different in the domains of SW and SWS? -----Original Message----- From: Joachim Peer To: jeff@inf.ed.ac.uk Cc: Harry Halpin; public-sws-ig@w3.org Sent: 11/25/05 9:00 AM Subject: Re: Where are the semantics in the semantic Web? dear all, i've followed this thread with great interest. i have tried to summarize some technical (pro XML) arguments in a little paper which is attached to this mail kind regards!
