    Hi Darrel,
    
    If I understand your question right,  I think you are asking how what
    we're proposing to do differs from the semantic Web for orchestration.
    What is different in MOX than the Semantic Web is that XML Schema
    contains semantics that can be formalized into owl and RDF.  The
    semantic Web stack simply states that RDF/owl annotates XML Schema.  On
    the other hand, MOX aims to specify how RDF/owl are produced from XML
    Schemas. Another difference is that mapping relations in the semantic
    Web can be applied onto ontologies.  Using MOX, mapping relations can
    be applied on XML schemas and ontologies.  MoX also specifies how
    mapping relations generate mediation code which is not the purpose of
    the Semantic Web.
    I hope this helps.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
    
    Thanks, Marwan
