ebXML Registry Profile for OWL

[Farrukh Najmi <Farrukh.Najmi@Sun.COM>]

Dear Colleagues,

Recall the proposal for creating an "ebXML Registry Profile for OWL" 
some time back as a normative spec deliverable from the SCM SC:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/regrep-semantic/200506/msg00002.html

Asuman, Carl and I discussed this proposal and feel that the time is 
right for us to start this
profile specification  in earnest. Asuman, has kindly agreed to be the 
primary editor for the specification.
Thanks Asuman! Please count on me on all issues and help in any way that 
you need.

The tactics we propose is to leverage past work from the DAPD paper and 
recast the ideas into an ebXML Registry Profile template as exemplified 
by the draft
"ebXML Registry Profile for Web Services":

ebXML Registry Profile for Web Service (draft):
<http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/14756/regrep-ws-profile-1.0-draft3.pdf> 
(pdf file)
<http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/tmp/regrep-ws-profile-1.0.odt> (Open 
Office 2.0 source file)

Here is a straw dog tactical modal. What if Asuman works through the 
first draft and raises any issues on the mailing list.
We discuss any issues on email threads on the list. We can call a con 
call on an as-needed basis.
One we have a first draft out we will likely start having regularly 
scheduled meetings to review the draft.

Also, Carl in a conversation this morning suggested the developing of a 
non-normative tutorial document for managing OWL ontologies in an ebXML 
Registry with possibility of using his proposed "Ontology for IT 
Services Management" as a illustrative example. I am sure Carl will be 
sharing his thoughts on the tutorial in a different thread soon.

To summarize, we are beginning to gear up on some exciting work in the 
SCM SC and we need SC members to get engaged in and contribute to these 
activities.
Please share any thoughts or suggestions you may have on the proposed 
plan. Thank you.

Farrukh
