OWL-S is focused on Semantic Web Services so they can be expected to be biased toward Web Services specifications. This, of course, doesn't justify incorrect or misleading statements. When the OWL-S notes were first submitted, I read this: >> - Since OWL-S provides a language for the description of the behaviour of Web >>services, its scope is complementary to that of ebXML. In fact, OWL-S descriptions >>could themselves be used within ebXML to describe the business processes of >>interacting Web services. and saw (as David did) that they must have completely missed BPSS. The Note in which this bullet appears is supposed to outline the relationship, including overlaps, of OWL-S and other specifications. Since this is clearly incorrect with respect to ebXML BPSS, I suggest that OASIS send an official note with suggested text to correct it. If there are also statements that mis-represent the chronology of ebXML and Web Services specs then I suggest that this be officially noted as well. -Evan
