Next telecon features & beyond

Next week I'd like to continue where we left off, with brief discussions 
of some of the more "major" suggested features that impact the query 
language itself. These include:

Assignment
Property paths - Andy
Aggregates
Negation
Update
Basic Federated Query
Parameterized inference/control of inference

Could we get volunteers to briefly present these?

(I don't actually think we'll get to all of these on the teleconference.)

Subsequent weeks I'd like to roughly divide like this (this is unordered):

* Other query language suggestions (syntax, new functions, bnode refs, 
limit by resource, one of, pragmas, CONSTRUCT enhancements)
* Protocol extensions (parameters, cost models, cursors, query by 
reference, return format)
* Rest of SPARQL landscape (RDF or XML syntax for queries, service 
description, query response linking, ...)

I know that Bijan, at least, is also interested in proposing something 
regarding OWL semantics, but I'm not sure what shape that will be so I'm 
not sure where to put it. :-)

As I said on the teleconference, there's _no way_ we'll discuss all of 
these on the teleconferences. I'd like to re-ask that people take time 
to read the wiki and to discuss over email as much as possible. When we 
have some discussion going, we may also have the opportunity to set up 
supplemental calls to discuss specific topics during the next month.

Comments, questions always welcome.
