Subject: Re: Deploying an OWL ontology via an Web Services interface
I would like to call your attention to the work that is currently being done in the OASIS/ebXML Registry SCM (Semantic Content Management) subcommittee [1]. A link to the group's charter is also listed in [1]. I've copied the SCM listserv in case any of the members that are on this list would like to provide more information.
