And so it is: The meeting of 2004/12/21 records a decision that it's officially "SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language" http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2004OctDec/0543.html http://www.w3.org/2004/12/21-dawg-irc There was a straw poll as well: open from 23 September 2004 to 07 October 2004 for those that can read that top secret (but unintelligible!) list of names. http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35463/DAWG-QL-name/results Kudos to DanC (chair at the time) that there is enough evidence from 2004.
