Mission Statement
The mission of the Semantic Web Services Initiative Architecture committee
(SWSA) is to develop architectural and protocol abstractions forming a reference
architecture to support Semantic Web Service technologies. The Architecture
committee will motivate these concepts through use cases that demonstrate
the benefits of using machine interpretable semantics to facilitate dynamic
interoperability, composability, and substitutability among web services and
for agent-based services in other distributed environments. We will promote
the development of standard methodological and theoretical underpinnings through
discussions, publications, reference implementations and coordination with
standards bodies.
