Re: wsmo

Paolo, The WSMO work is now being carried on the Conceptual Models of 
Services WG under STI (http://cms-wg.sti2.org/home/) in conjunction 
with the SOA4All EU project (http://www.soa4all.eu/). Here were work on:
WSMO Lite - a lightweight version of WSMO which builds upon SAWSDL, and
MicroWSMO - a lightweight version of WSMO for REST services which 
builds upon the hREST microformat (http://knoesis.wright.edu/research/srl/projects/hRESTs/ 
) created collaboratively by Amit Sheth's KNOESIS group and STI 
Innsbruck
Within SOA4All we will produce a range runtime and design time tools 
to support the above which we will begin to release over the next few 
months.
Feel free to contact me privately for more information
regards
John
