Ryan, As you noted, DAML-S is being designed to be very general in nature, so we left the range of degreeOfQuality to be "Thing." Since classes a service provider/user might define are a subclass of Thing, it enables users such as yourself to define a range class for degreeOfQuality that meets your needs. Over time, a number of these will likely emerge, as notions of "quality" and/or "authentication" become more prevalent on the Web. I suggest you make your own. The DAML community is always looking for more ontologies. Sheila McIlraith for the DAML Services Coalition > Hello, > > Got a newbie question.
