[Asis-l] W3C XML Query Working Group

[Mark Needleman]

Folks

As some of you may know from prior postings from me 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 ASIST
community in this area

Here are the pointers:

activities go to
