Hi - For some time now, The Open Group has been developing a formal ontology for SOA. We made an early version available for comment by W3C members in 2007, and invited you to make comments prior to formal Open Group review in 2008. That review took place last year. It did not result in approval of the ontology for publication as an Open Group standard, but determined that fundamental changes should be made. We have now made those changes, and invite you to comment on the resulting new draft. The changes have been partly driven by the desire to use the ontology as a basis for product implementations, and products that implement the emerging S-RAMP standard are using it - see http://s-ramp.org/faq.html This draft is smaller than the previous review draft. It does not cover nearly so many concepts, but the OWL constructs for the concepts that it does cover are partly based on implementation experience, not just on the ways that the words concerned are used in human communication. The draft is available for review at https://www.opengroup.org/projects/soa-ontology/review/ To participate in the review, you must subscribe to mail list soa-ontology-info@opengroup.org. You can do this via http://www.opengroup.org/sophocles2/create_user.tpl?name=soa-ontology-info You will then be able to log in to the review page, and enter comments on-line. We will address comments received at this stage before creating the draft for further Open Group review, which we hope this time will lead to publication of a standard. We would very much appreciate your input. -- Regards, Chris ++++ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Christopher J.
