| OASIS Bringing
Semantics to SOA |
| By Alex

|
The OASIS standards organization
yesterday announced it has convened a new technical committee to
create an architecture for the application of semantics into
service-oriented systems. The goal of the committee is to
create a set of standards that will help implement ontology and
keyword-based information into the systems, services, and data used
in SOA.
Ontology is the science of
categorization: listing information about information, not unlike
the filing systems used in card catalogs in libraries. Currently,
semantics and ontology are best embodied in the Web Ontology
Language (OWL) and in the XML specification Resource Description
Framework (RDF).
The first meeting of the Semantic
Execution Environment committee will be held Nov. 11 and the
proposed chairperson will be Dieter Fensel of the Digital
Enterprise Research Institute. OASIS also announced last month that its Web Services
Transactions (WS-Tx) technical committee would be melding aspects of
WS-Coordination, WS-Atomic Transaction, and
WS-BusinessActivity into a single standard for coordinating
the output of distributed application
actions. | |
