Exchange message between what?
I understand that we need a seamless
interaction between between OGC and W3C
services. Not sure how this could be
achieved in the ZOO platform.

My rudimentary understanding is that

1) process have to be chained
2) create a workflow model based on 1)
3) workflow model has to be pass on
    to an workflow engine to run the model

My wild guess is that YAWL provides functionality
of 2) above.
