The "SPARQL Query Language for RDF" offers developers and end users a way to write and consume search results across a wide range of information and provides a means of integration over disparate sources. With this format, SPARQL variable binding and boolean results can be expressed in XML.

This subset of MathML 3.0 can be used to capture the structure of mathematical formulas in a way particularly suitable for further CSS formatting. Coordinated with ongoing work on CSS Level 3, the profile is expected to facilitate adoption of MathML in Web browsers and CSS formatters.
