 Scope
 -----
 
 There is a lot of potential relationship to existing Semantic Web
 efforts as well as to existing Web Services development, including:
 
    Semantic Web background technologies; e.g. RDF, OWL
    Web Services background technologies; e.g. SOAP, WSDL
    Registries, taxonomies, and search mechanisms; e.g. UDDI
    Rule languages; e.g. SWRL
    Ontologies for Web Services; e.g. OWL-S, WSMO
    Web Services Choreography; e.g. WS-CDL
    Business process; e.g. BPEL4WS
 
 Discussion of the relationship of these areas to the workshop topic is
 encouraged.
 
 We are looking forward to your participation and contributions to this
 workshop.
