RE: [fwd] Draft charters for work on Semantics for WS

One point of clarification.  There is a difference between the annotations
in WSDL-S and those in described in the of OWL-S WSDL grounding.  In WSDL-S
a modelReference or a SchemaMapping refer directly to a domain ontology.
The OWL-S WSDL extensions refer to parts of an OWL-S ontology, which in
turn can refer to a domain ontology.   Of course, WSDL-S could also be used
to point to OWL-S parameters and processes, so there is no conflict.  There
is only the question of how big this first step (in the WG) should be.

I have no objection to OWL-S being an input document.  The question we need
to ask is one of scope.  OWL-S, SWSF and WSMO all are based on having a
formal ontology for modeling Web services, beyond the implicit one embodied
in WSDL , so this will eventually be needed to achieve the full vision
which the other group W3C proposes will define.   If the scope includes
formally defining a service ontology, the WG will have to collectively
figure out the best way to do this.
