Re: GRDDLing to WSDL ontology

Hi Harry, 

GRDDLing WSDL is indeed a naturally good idea; however when I was
working on the WSDL RDF transformer a long time ago, it turned out that
my knowledge of XSLT was insufficient - I hit some obstacles in the
processing that I couldn't easily overcome, so instead I put together
the Java tool built on the Woden WSDL2.0 API.

I'd be happy to see an XSLT implementation but I'm afraid I can't spend
any useful time on creating it. If anyone else does it, I'll be happy to
compare results between them and my Java impl, as a way of testing. 8-)

Best regards,
Jacek
