We currently import our functions and operators from http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/ The normative reference on that and on http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery continue to concern me, w.r.t. our schedule. At the rules workshop, somebody pointed out to me that MathML has URIs for functions an operators, e.g. http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/appendixc.html#cedef.factorial I don't think it has all the ones we need; regex, in particular. But MathML2 is already a REC, and I played around with it (http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/mathml-rules.xml ) and found it integrates with the Semantic Web pretty well, so I have been thinking about importing our functions and operators from there instead of XQuery, and I thought I'd share the thought with the WG and see if it goes anywhere. This might involve a charter change... er... hmm... I thought there was something explicit about using XQuery functions and operators in our charter, but I don't see it now. http://www.w3.org/2003/12/swa/dawg-charter -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
