Deliverables

o        D3.2

o        Implementation of the web service: Holger did it with some remarks of Katherina & Kathrin. Is roughly what is presented in D3.2

o        WS-Specs are not in the WSMO Repository at present. Will be put there

o        Mediators: Listing 7,8,9,10 are not implemented so far

o        Michael has here some interested students who might implement this stuff

o        Francisco was determined by Dieter to supervise one of the students if the student is interested

o        No rationale is given for the ontology in Listing 1. Fix this

o        Listing 5: Is not a goal but a goal instance. List. 5 should show the goal template whereas List. 6 should show the goal in the next version

o        List. 6: This seems to be not nice modelling: Use predicates and assumptions here (valid creditcard) and define valid predicate in an ontology

o        Page 40: GG Mediator is missing. We will have it in the next version

o        Page 43: Reference to F-Logic: Mention the mailing list

o        Sec. 3.1.3. last paragraph: Downsize and rewrite!

o        Still: Real ontologies are required for this deliverable as Dieter mentions

o        Next step: Purchase Order Ontology needs to be redefined, the location ontology will be detailed (Armin Haller will take care of the former!)

o        Next version: July 19th

o        Strategy with the 2nd Use case: Start working on it at the end of July

o        D12

o        Basic message: Ontologize the content of the deliverable

o        New section 4.1 will be included which contains and clarifies some stuff from section 3.1ff

o        Sec. 3.1 is not an ontology here: Write concepts as extensions of WSMO standard elements

o        Put everything in the WSMO style

o        Clarify Figure 1,2,3 in a general way

o        Figures should always have a legend and be self-contained and understandable

o        Next version in 3 weeks (19th July)

 

 

Discussion

o        Discussion document “On Mediators”

o        Introduction: “None of the authors” should be used instead of “nobody in WSMO”

o        Dieter disagrees in many aspects

o        Including the mappings in the mediators is precisely the goal in WSMO; but in the capability description of the mediator service

o        Namespaces are in Dieter’s opinion very relevant (disagreement on having only one single ontology mediatior)

o        Everybody is invited to put some efforts in providing a concrete proposal (far beyond this document) for single types of mediators

o        Francisco would be basically interested to contribute, Michael and Uwe are at present not able to take an initiative here, since they have a lot of other things to care about.

o        Dieter thanks the authors for the discussion document, but disagrees in most points

o        GG mediator has a reduction, Dieter thinks that this might be questionable in the future.

o        Discussion of WW-Mediators is far much ahead at present. We open the discussion here again after the use case D3.2 has been finished.
