Venue: Level 3, 80 George Street, Brisbane

Abstract:

  The W3C XML Query Working Group (WG) was chartered in September 1999
  to develop a query language for XML documents. The goal of the XML
  Query Working Group is to produce a formal data model for XML
  documents with Namespaces based on the XML Infoset and XML Schemas,
  a set of query operators on that data model, and then an XQuery
  language with a concrete canonical syntax based on the proposed
  operators. Work on XPath 2.0 which is a subset of XQuery 1.0 is
  being done in co-operation of the W3C XSL WG.

  This talk will provide an update on the current status of the XQuery
  1.0 and XPath 2.0. Paul will outline the relationship of the work of
  the XML Query WG to other W3C XML standards especially XML
  Schema. He will also give the status of the Working Group's efforts
  to add support to XQuery for full-text retrieval and an update
  language.
