Re: IBM Interest in the WSDL 2.0 RDF Mapping

Jacek,

Yes, WSMO counts. Our position is that the if the proponents of semantic 
Web do not think the RDF mapping is a high priority, then we agree that 
this deliverable can be dropped. OWL-S is the most obvious proponent in 
the contenxt of W3C since OWL is already a W3C speciifcation and this 
requirement comes from W3C.  I understand that WSMO has been submitted to 
W3C, which gives WSMO folks like you a legitimate claim to do this RDF 
mapping work. That fact that WSMO also has an Eclipse editor makes me even 
more supportive of you doing the work :-)

I assume there is a natural RDF mapping and that it would be acceptable to 
any semantic Web persuasion. Is that correct?

Re: IBM Interest in the WSDL 2.0 RDF Mapping







Arthur, do the proponents of WSMO also count? I.e. if Bijan (of the
OWL-S persuasion) decides to give up and let me (of the WSMO persuasion)
give it a try, will IBM object to the result? It'll still be OWL-based
and certainly reviewed by the OWL-S people in due course, you needn't
worry about that. 8-)

Best regards,

Jacek
