  Web services should also help guide our thinking in terms of use cases.

We have a large (circa 3000) registry of public biomedical services (mostly web services) built as part of the myGrid project [1], one way of using these services is through the Taverna workbench [2].

Currently these are being annotated in RDF and/or OWL although a human-readable list [3] is also available. (See also BioMOBY post on homologs for yeast proteins earlier [4])...

I have a set of use cases* for describing these services in order to facilitate their (semi-)automagic discovery and interoperation using reasoning. Vipul, can we incorporate these into the "Ontology Working Group" deliverable somehow?
