Re: Proposal: Searching XML

Text Retrieval is a part of the requirements for XML Query.

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-zig/2002Apr/0047.html
seems to me to be well within the scope of XML Query.

(I tried to get some interest within XML Query in looking at
Z39.50, but they are very focused on SQL/MM right now)

I do not believe there have been any public statements about the
status of the full text search in XML Query, sorry.

W3C Members can look at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-query-operators/2002Apr/0050.html
[member-only link, sorry] for some recent discussion.  But I think I
can safely say that we are a very long way from a working draft of
anything.

As I see it, Z39.50 is at a different level -- the ASN.1 query
formulations would be replaced, if you were using a modified Z39.50
that worked with XML Query, or at least, that's my first thought.

Hope this helps.
