    180180=== Wrapping web services === 
    181181The following points outline our findings when exploring specific web services to wrap to become semantic. 
    182  * We decided that WABI services cannot be efficiently wrapped ''en masse'' because many (most?) of them output non-standardized, tab-delimited flatfiles; adding semantics into these files would require us to write a special parser for each service... BZZZZT!  We suggest that, at a minimum, WABI services should output XML such that we can use generic parsers and generic tools (e.g. XSLT) to add semantics into these services. 
    183  * TOGO services are nicer, but don't have a WSDL (because they are RESTful).  As such, there is no way for us to wrap them other than one-by-one...  BZZZZZZT! 
     182 * We decided that WABI services cannot be efficiently wrapped ''en masse'' because many (most?) of them output non-standardized, tab-delimited flatfiles; adding semantics into these files would require us to write a special parser for each service, or a semantic transformation grammar - both of which are non-starters from a practical point of view.  We suggest that, at a minimum, WABI services should output XML such that we can use generic parsers and generic tools (e.g. XSLT) to add semantics into these services. 
     183 * TOGO services are nicer, but don't have a WSDL (because they are RESTful).  As such, there is no way for us to wrap them other than one-by-one. Again, unfortunately a non-starter for the scope of the hackathon. 
    184184 * We have asked Oswaldo to suggest which WABI services he thinks are most interesting/useful for his integration with the Spanish INB, and we will wrap these services during the hackathon as SADI and/or Moby services.
