Hi all. I'm crossposting this to the general Interest Group list and the 'rules and query' list, www-rdf-rules. I've set reply-to: to the latter. See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-interest/ and http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-rules/ for archives of both. EricP's post at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-rules/2001Sep/0000.html has more info about origins of the www-rdf-rules list, including info on (un-)subscribing. Anyway, I wanted to let folks on both lists know that W3C published a W3C Member note on RDQL, "A Query Language for RDF" last week. The document itself is at: http://www.w3.org/Submission/2004/SUBM-RDQL-20040109/ Info on the submission is at: http://www.w3.org/Submission/2003/06/ ...and our 'team comment' on the doc is at: http://www.w3.org/Submission/2003/06/Comment As we say in the comment, "The RDQL submission is particularly welcome [...] as it provides a 'strawman' target for discussion, testing, evaluation against use cases and consideration for possible standardization. [...] Information from application developers who have worked with RDQL-based query engines will be of particular use in understanding the design tradeoffs in this area.". I know that many folks on the RDF IG lists have built or used RDF query systems which use either RDQL or a very similar approach (RDFdb, Squish, etc etc.). Discussion on the utility and limits of such languages is (as always) very welcome on www-rdf-rules. I'm particularly interested to see case studies of real world apps that have been coded against such an interface, and to learn more about problems (and successes!) that you've encountered while building such systems. Followups to mailto:www-rdf-rules@w3.org please, cheers, Dan
