[email protected] subscribers - This announcement (what's below the dashed line) will also go to [email protected], in a separate message. The "ws" is for "web services", and we are encouraging discussion on that list. Consequently, that list will be a melting pot for those who have primarily been involved with the commercial Web services standards efforts - such as WSDL and UDDI - with those of us who have mainly been involved with Semantic Web activities, and are interested in services on the Web. Feedback from DAML participants is most welcome. In fact, we had intended to solicit feedback on [email protected] for a time, before publishing to non-DAML folks. But we've decided to move things out more quickly; hence the duplicate announcement that will be going to [email protected]. --------------------------- 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: http://www.daml.org/services/ (Note: the final slash is currently required for the above URL to work.) The page is currently under construction and will be updated over the next weeks. We welcome feedback from interested parties through the [email protected] email list. Regards, - David Martin
