DAML-S Draft Release now available

        Announcing: DAML-S Draft Release now available

DAML-S (Darpa Agent Markup Language for Services) is a Web service
ontology, based on DAML+OIL, which supplies Web service providers with a
core set of markup language constructs for describing the properties and
capabilities of their Web services in unambiguous, computer-intepretable
form. DAML-S markup of Web services will facilitate the automation of
Web service tasks including automated Web service discovery, execution,
interoperation, composition, and execution monitoring.  Following the
layered approach to markup language development, the current version of
DAML-S builds on top of DAML+OIL (March 2001), providing an expressive
foundation for Web service markup in a language with a well-defined
semantics.

A draft version (0.5) of DAML-S is now available here:

The page is currently under construction and will be updated over the
