RE: Semantics of WSDL vs. semantics of service

Carine,

Thanks very much for your kind information. I am glad to see we eventually
have something based on the same ground: we can separate service semantic
description from service development framework. Thus service semantics can
be neutral and independent from service providers.

Furthermore, my question is, if we can describe the service semantics in the
external resource, then why do we need WSDL again to transfer the message
between service provider and requester, since once we can describe the
service, then we can invoke the service directly over HTTP without the
serialization/deserialization process?

Best regards,

Xuan

That's

Clarification about semantic annotation for wsdl:
The *meaning* is actually in a separate document (or several ones). The 
annotation in the WSDL is supposed to *point* to *external information*.
