Dear Matthias, > in due course of planning a semantic web service matchmaker contest, > i am currently looking for We are interested and would like to share what has been developed as part of the myGrid [1] and Dynamo [2] projects. I indicate below what we have available and what's upcoming. myGrid is working in the context of bioinformatics services (its Taverna [3] workbench allows access to over 3000 distributed services). Dynamo works on description logic based service discovery mechanisms. > * all kinds of *implemented* owl-s or wsmo matchmakers > in particular those which have not been published yet, > but might be interested in participating in such a contest. An OWL based matcher implementing the results of a recent AAAI paper [4] should be in prototype phase by November/December. The Feta RDFS based matcher [5] and mismatcher [6] could also be of interest. > * partners that would be willing to initiate or further develop service > retrieval test collections for measuring the retrieval performance of > these matchmakers such as the owls-tc v2 for owl-s (i do not know > yet of any wsmo test collection) We have a set of RDFS annotated services of about 30. With the above prototype release, a couple of pure OWL-S based services will be made available, with more to come. In addition, a full time service annotator has recently joined the myGrid project. We are still deciding which annotation tools and formalisms to use but what's pretty clear is that no pre-/postconditions will be modelled. Finally, you made the reference to TREC. We hope your contest will be less competitive and more collaborative in spirit. For an example of a community that developed an example of the latter, check out the recent Provenance Challenge [7].
