Hi, Is it possible, in the process model, to describe a service who's output/effects are conditioned by a conditional statement? That is, given a certain value for that condition an outputs/effect A is produced while given another value, an output/effect B is produced. I know that there is the if-then-else construct but it is used in case the condition regards a choice between two processcomponeents and not outputs/effets. The class Condition as described in the process model is still undefined since it is expected that DAML+OIL or OWL will be used to describe it more fully. Will this problem be solved by having a mathematical ontology that defines mathematical relations such as =, >, < etc? Or is it the case that rules have to be introduced to solve this problem? The definition of the condtionaloutput and conditionaleffect in the process model is somewhat cumbersome to define. Since work is being done on the PAI model of DAML-S can such issues be tackled to make these more readable. It would be quite an advantage for both developer creating ontologies and tools to automatically generate them and also for the less expert user. Sorry for the cluster of questions and await comments from you people. Cheers Charlie ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/
