Folks As you probably know the W3C has had a working group developing a query language for XML. I have been a member of it since it got started. About a year ago some of us who wanted to make sure XML Query had good support for full text searching formed a task force inside the working group to try and come up with what functionality needed to be supported and define the mechanisms for how that functionality would be achieved We have just published the 1st version of a Use Case document and a Requirements document and I encourage people to take a look at them and comment on them since there is obviously a lot of expertize in the Z39.50 community in this area Here are the pointers: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlquery-full-text-requirements/ http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlquery-full-text-use-cases/ If you want more information on the XML Query Working Group in general and its activities go to http://www.w3.org/XML/Query If you have any questions please dont hesitate to get in touch with me Mark Needleman
