Jacek, Your suggestion for mappings (I'd say "no, yes, both".) pretty much matches our original intent. Since the data mapping was based on the two schemas (e.g., in XSD and OWL) we called it schema mapping, even though it is meant to be applied to data instances at run time. One of my prior students used the Lumina discovery tool to find "real" semantically matching services. Without mapping, only a tiny percentage could be invoked. With fairly simple mappings all of them could. The mappings provide a way to "connect to the semantic bus" so to speak. Although, the mapping aspect of SAWSDL may not be as elegant as the rest, I think it is a useful and practical feature to include. Thanks, John P.S. I also see Rama's point regarding for example, XSLT mappings. Since XSLT is Turing complete, we can't do much with it other than invoke it (e.g., don't know how useful it would be in discovery).
