Technical Breakout 2b - Developing an Ontology for Services
- Classifying services and describing service interfaces to support "smart" workflow composition (presentations by Rahul Ramachandran & Liping Di & Benno Blumenthal)
- Begin development of core services ontology based on our use cases
- Collect current service ontologies (OWL-S, WSDL, etc.)
- Collect current data-type ontologies and identify attributes (e.g. data mining tends to be agnostic to the
science use/meaning of the data, whereas geospatial processing services very often do need to know the science meaning, e.g. wavelength of an image)
- Use CMAP to iterate on Data Type and Service Ontology concept maps (Rahul to set up)
- Exchange experiences with semantic software stacks (triple stores, inference engines, rules engines, etc.)
- Benno Blumenthal's slides [1]
- Other presenters - add your slides here.
- Background on Services, e.g. use cases (Pfox) presentation

- Agenda
| Time | Session | Leader | |
