ANNOUNCEMENT: NEW XML-Query/Xpath Draft on Functions and Operators (fwd)

This is an important piece of work; folk working on formalisms for RDF,
RDF query, logic etc would do well to take a look.

Please use the feedback addresses below if you have comments on the draft.

I'm sending this to both www-rdf-interest and www-rdf-logic, despite my
generally discouraging folk from cross-posting, because it is important
that we make sure everyone in the community has a chance to review this XML
spec. I'm happy with followup discussions staying cross-posted too, though
if they (for whatever reason) get side-tracked into hardcore logic stuff, you
might consider dropping www-rdf-interest from the cc: list.

[apologies for multiple postings]

W3C's XML Query Working Group, in conjunction with the W3C XSL wg,
has just published a brand NEW draft:

"XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Functions and Operators Version 1.0"
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators )
This document defines basic operators and functions on the datatypes
defined in [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes] for use in XQuery, XPath and
other related XML standards. It also discusses operators and functions
on nodes and node sequences as defined in the [XQuery 1.0 and XPath
2.0 Data Model] for use in XQuery, XPath and other related XML
standards.

General discussion on the draft should be addressed to the www-ql@w3.org
mailing list (archives at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ql/ ).

Comments and feedback on the draft solely addressed to the working
group should instead be sent at www-xml-query-comments@w3.org
(archives at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-query-comments/ ).

Latest versions always available from the XML Query page
(http://www.w3.org/XML/Query ),
also containing an explanation of the above mailing lists.

-Massimo
