Hi all, I was tasked to check how RDF statements (including OWL statements) could be represented in WSDL. Here's what I found: RDF defines two XML elements which can be used to contain RDF statements - rdf:RDF and rdf:Description. As far as I can see, no XML Schema for these elements (I've found only one at [1]) puts them into any of the substitution groups for WSDL extensibility elements; therefore these elements cannot be used as WSDL extensibility elements. As I think RDF statements should be embedded in WSDL using extensibility elements, I propose that we create an element wsdl:rdfDescription in the substitution group globalExt. The semantics of this element would be the same as of <rdf:Description rdf:about="URIref to the current WSDL component">... Example: <wsdl:message name="Foo"> <wsdl:rdfDescription> <ns:responsibleArchitect rdf:resource="mailto:jacek@systinet.com"/> </wsdl:rdfDescription> </wsdl:message> In English, the architect responsible for the WSDL message Foo is me. What do you think? Jacek Kopecky Senior Architect Systinet Corporation http://www.systinet.com/
