Good. > It's not gone very quickly or well, but that's the goal. It seems to be moving right along, in the last couple weeks. Perhaps we could/should have started this exercise of validating the abstract syntax with an XML concrete syntax a long time ago... ... I suppose in that sense it hasn't gone quickly... but since the Boston meeting I can't imagine how it could have gone much more quickly, especially since I wasn't exactly encouraging it to happen at all until recently. ;-) > > Now we seem to have a couple of attempts... a sketch by Andy > > (in his message of Mar 24, 2005 at 12:25:14PM +0000) > > and a response from Kendall in 1.3. > > > > I haven't manged to study sparqlx.rnc closely yet to see > > how close it is to the abstract syntax in the definitions, > > but I'd like to check that this is what we're aiming at. > > The one I just checked in (v.1.5) is intended -- modulo some details > -- to schematize the SPARQL Abstract Syntax in > > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2005JanMar/0393 > > Kendall -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
