SPDL - Service Product Description Language

Support of the service lifecycle by standards and applications gains increasing importance. Variant services are highly modular, complex and sometimes even .built-to-order. thus requiring sopisticated service modelling / knowledge representation strategies.

With OWL there exists a W3C knowledge representation standard which can be estimated to consolidate fragmented effords to represent knowledge. OWL-S is a W3C intrest group / approach to base WSDL web service descriptions on OWL, which lacks (or doesn't target to) support for non web technology related service description components.

The aim of this project is to introduce a service description language, whichs purpose is to capture all knowledge / information required in the lifecycle of variant services, which interoperates as canonical as possible with WSDL.
