[jsdl-wg] JSDL extension for SOA-type jobs

[Andreas Savva]

Hi Leonid,

There are no concrete plans at the moment to extend JSDL for SOA-type  
jobs, though we have talked in the past about adding more jsdl:Application  
types.
How fast (or if) something happens depends on how many people want to work  
on it. Is this something that you or your organization would be willing to  
work on?

Thank you for sending this query to the list.
Andreas
