If the W3C can insure a maximum integration of Web Service and semantic Web architecture it will fully justify the effort put in. Perhaps Topic Mapping might have a role here. David Steinberg ottawa Canada from Web Service Description Requirements - W3C Working Draft 29 April 2002 section 4 requirements 4.12 Mapping to the Semantic Web R070 The WG specification(s) MUST allow providing a mapping from the description language to [RDF]. (From the Charter. Last revised 11 April, 2002.) R120 [Draft] The description language SHOULD ensure that all conceptual elements in the description of Messages are addressable by a URI reference [RFC2396]. (From the Semantic Web. Added 11 April, 2002. Awaiting clarification from RDF.)
