Constraint-based Policy Specification for OWL-S Web Service (lips)

• What is the weakness of current OWL-S? How do we address it?
•  Look at dissertation and see what it has that is an improvement over current component approach
• See if we can apply that argument to OWL-S

(lips is being used in a new component model, the Semantic Web Service)

The email:

What are we going to prove? see above.

What is the environment? i.e. COBRA, servlet? what? (i.e. the component)

• What is a component from the paper?
• How does a Web service look similar to that?

(note Java app server etc.)

Task

• Two ontologies, OWL-S and WSMO

Ideas:

    What is the benefit I am trying to show -
       either its an approach to an unsolved problem
       or its better approach than X
