If you have an opinion about whether DASL should support queries on structured properties (e.g. for Dublin Core) *please* speak up in the DASL list. There have been several posts there asking for opinions on this point, with little or no response. As a result of this silence, the current DASL requirements ID does not include a requirement for queries on structured properties. We need to hear from you on this. The DASL home page is http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/dasl/ (Archived) mail messages of greatest relevance are: Structure criteria for DASL queries http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webdav-dasl/1998JulSep/0087.html (tries to "make (or reopen) the case for defining a structure criteria (also called "structured query") in DASL.") Should DASL have structure queries? http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webdav-dasl/1998JulSep/0113.html (Attempt to provoke discussion on the need for structured queries) If you want to contribute to the design of DASL structured criteria, there are two proposals on the table right now, or you can add your own. Please see initial proposal for structure criteria http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webdav-dasl/1998JulSep/0095.html (Davis's proposal for syntax for structured criteria) Querying WebDAV Hierarchical Properties -- The Proposal http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webdav-dasl/1998JulSep/0118.html (Babich's proposal for structured query.) Some background on the above what kinds of structure criteria are needed? http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webdav-dasl/1998JulSep/0089.html (lists the structural features that must be testable) Querying WebDAV Hierarchical Properties -- Motivation http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webdav-dasl/1998JulSep/0117.html (Design rationale for the Babich proposal)
