Recommendation Track document:

- SPARQL Query Results XML Format
  (http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-XMLres/),
  exclusion opportunity ending on 7 September 2007

This specification was produced by the RDF Data Access Working Group.

If you do not wish to exclude patent claims during this exclusion
opportunity, no further action is required.

Participants made a Royalty-Free licensing commitment upon joining this
Working Group. With the publication of this document, per section 4.1 of
the Patent Policy [1], Participants have an opportunity until 7
September 2007 to exclude patent claims reading on this Last Call draft.
At Last Call, exclusions are limited to matter in the Last Call draft
that was not present or apparent in this draft:

the publication of the document on 14 June 2007; we did not
send it out due to a bug that has been fixed subsequently. The

any inconvenience.
