Subject: The Open Group SOA Ontology

Hi, Duane -

For some time now, The Open Group has been 
developing a formal 
ontology for SOA. We made an early version available for 
comment by 
OASIS members over a year ago. We have now reached the stage 
where we 
believe that it is almost complete, and are exposing it to outside 

bodies for review and comment prior to its final review within The Open 
Group.

The ontology is in part based on the OASIS SOA Reference Model, 
which 
was a significant inspiration for much of our initial work. It 

differs from the Reference Model, and the subsequent draft OASIS SOA 

Reference Architecture, in that the concepts are not only explained 

heuristically, but are also captured in a formal language - OWL.

The 
draft is publicly available at 
http://www.opengroup.org/projects/soa-ontology/doc.tpl?gdid=16940  
We 
would very much appreciate input from OASIS members, and will address 

comments received at this stage before creating the draft for final 
Open 
Group review. I would be grateful if you could please advise 
your Reference 
Model TC members of this URL, and invite them to 
review the draft and send 
comments to 
me.

Regards,

Chris
