Focusing on semantic enhancements to Web services applications, this event provided concrete examples of business challenges and how they have been resolved through the use of Web Services. W3C Member organizations including Amadeus, Canon, INRIA, and Nokia, demonstrated solutions already implemented in enterprise environments.
