   The RDF Working Group has published two Last Call Working
   Drafts today:

   http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/
     * A Last Call Working Draft of RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract
       Syntax. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a
       framework for representing information in the Web. Comments
       are welcome through 6 September.
     * A Last Call Working Draft of RDF 1.1 Semantics. This
       document describes a precise semantics for the Resource
       Description Framework 1.1 and RDF Schema. It defines a
       number of distinct entailment regimes and corresponding
       patterns of entailment. It is part of a suite of documents
       which comprise the full specification of RDF 1.1. Comments

Last Call: XQuery 3.0: An XML Query Language

   23 July 2013 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9895

   The XML Query Working Group has published a Last Call Working
   Draft of "XQuery 3.0: An XML Query Language." XML is a
   versatile markup language, capable of labeling the information
   content of diverse data sources including structured and
   semi-structured documents, relational databases, and object
   repositories. A query language that uses the structure of XML
   intelligently can express queries across all these kinds of
   data, whether physically stored in XML or viewed as XML via
   middleware. This specification describes a query language
   called XQuery, which is designed to be broadly applicable
   across many types of XML data sources. Comments are welcome
   through 13 August. Learn more about the Extensible Markup
   Language (XML) Activity.
