Re: The Open Group SOA Ontology

Hi -

Thanks to everyone who has commented on our draft SOA ontology so 
far! The comments received from all sources are now listed at 
http://www.opengroup.org/projects/soa-ontology/uploads/40/17299/ontocomments01.txt

The project team will start preparing a new draft on Monday, 
September 8th. If you have further comments, please will you send 
them to me before then.
