If I may present a slightly different take: When SAWSDL finishes, what's next for SWS at the W3C? I.e., is it just evangalism now? Is there future standards work? Do we need/want an XG? A WG? To do what exactly. WSDL also went to recommendation(finally! whew!), and WS-Policy is proceeding.

It is reasonable, I think. There are three possibilities, I think: 1) Have a meeting at the Tech plenary in Nov in Boston. Pros: lots of w3c interaction; SW-IG had meetings to good effect there Cons: Awkward wrt ISWC; far for a lot of major SWS players; may be too late to get a slot http://www.w3.org/2002/09/TPOverview.html 2) Have a workshop associated with a conference (such as ISWC) Pros: some flexibility; if we pick the right conference, lots of players might go; ISWC folks might host; there are WS conferences that could produce some synergy Cons: Often academically biased; ISWC itself is far for lots of people and the formal workshop application is closed so would have to do something ad hoc 3) Have a W3C follow up workshop to the one on Frameworks for Semantics in WS: http://www.w3.org/2005/01/ws-swsf-cfp Pros: It's been two years; often a lot of W3C engagement; flexible (even could be coloed with a conference) Cons: Needs a host; don't know if the W3C would be interested I'm happy to help facilitate any of these as I may. Carine...any thoughts esp. on 1 or 3? Are they impossible/unlikely/unwise? Cheers, Bijan.
