Hello DAML-ites - For our breakout session on Services (Wednesday 9:00 AM), the DAML-S coalition is planning to cover a range of timely topics in 3 sub-sessions, as shown below. In addition to everyone with a general interest in Semantic Web services, we particularly solicit participation from folks interested in: tie-in with work on commercial Web services security issues description logic expressiveness issues and we definitely request participation from language committee folks. It would be very helpful to know of the interests of those who plan to attend. If anyone cares to indicate interest in specific topics below, or suggest additional topics, please feel free to respond to me, to [email protected], or to [email protected] as you see fit. Comments and suggestions welcome! -- Services breakout session: preliminary outline -- Outreach & Use cases [Katia Sycara and Mark Burstein] What is the "business case" for Semantic Web services? What are the important applications in the real world? How will DAML-S fit into the larger context of Web services standards? How will DAML-S fit into activities at W3C? Continue progress towards a library of SW Services use cases Security and SW Services [Grit Denker and Katia Sycara] What kind of security mechanisms are needed by Semantic Web services? What security standards do we want to integrate? What requirements do these generate for DAML-S? What language or architectural requirements remain outside of DAML-S? Language expressiveness issues [David Martin and Drew McDermott] How best to express the conditions and effects associated with services? Can we target a specific OWL level or levels (Lite, DL, Full) for our ontology (or subontologies). What changes are required to DAML-S, to stay within these targets? Are we using the "base language" (DAML+OIL, OWL) as well as possible? Should we adopt means of representing processes that exploit DL reasoning more directly, as raised in research papers? What new features/modifications to OWL would help us? E.g., Transitive rules Path language Regards, David Martin
