That, obviously, is consistent with the Ontolog charter. Kurt and 
Duane is already running a discussion series around Ontology 
Applications & Implementations ... and, of course, what Duane & 
Rex is working on now is already the 3rd event around the SOA 
theme -- our first two were Duane's 2005.02.17 SOA-RM talk, and 
BillMcCarthy's   (which was also prompted by Steve Ray/NIST) 
2005.06.30 "Ontological Implications of Service Oriented 
Architecture" discussion session.    (02)

Therefore, the short answer is "Sure!" (we're already at it ... 
the rest are details which we can all work at, and (possibly) the 
upcoming Duane & Rex session can lead us onto it.    (03)

Cheers.  =ppy
