Farrukh,

I think that they are looking for an alarming web service not a web service
infrastructure.  

I understand this better now. Thanks.

To my knowledge ebXML does not define a model for alarm
management.  

Well it does, sort of...

ebXML Registry provides an Event Notification service which can be used to deliver notifications of
content and metadata changes in the registry to an automated web service via SOAP or to a human
via email. This was demonstrated in an Emergency Management scenario:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=338572

Presumably, once the alarming services is defined the service
would be registered in an ebXML registry and the semantics of what a
specific alarm means (the ontology related to the network of sensors) could
be store in a semantically enabled ebXML registry as well.

However, given
the complexity of the ontology related to a sensor network, it's description
would best be accomplished via a OWL enabled registry.
  

As you are probably already aware, ebXML Registry is already being used for storing OWL ontologies:

Current approach lacks inference capabilities. We are working to enhance ebXML Registry to support Semantic Content Management features in version 4.

Are there any plans to publicise OGC use of ebXML Registry? Thanks for sharing your insights on this.

Subject: [regrep] Whence ebXML Registry?

Hi Richard,

I was excited to see the following but then disappointed that 
somehow ebXML Registry did not get mentioned.
Any idea why? Can you found out if this can be fixed in this 
link below? 
Thanks.
