Re: wsmo

Paolo, The WSMO work is now being carried on the Conceptual Models of  
Services WG under STI (http://cms-wg.sti2.org/home/) in conjunction  
with the SOA4All EU project (http://www.soa4all.eu/). Here were work on:

WSMO Lite - a lightweight version of WSMO which builds upon SAWSDL, and
MicroWSMO - a lightweight version of WSMO for REST services which  
builds upon the hREST microformat (http://knoesis.wright.edu/research/srl/projects/hRESTs/ 
) created collaboratively by Amit Sheth's KNOESIS group and STI  
Innsbruck

Within SOA4All we will produce a range runtime and design time tools  
to support the above which we will begin to release over the next few  
months.

Feel free to contact me privately for more information

regards

John
