Hi all,
For those at WWW2008, or nearby, we can get a room for a BOF ("Birds
of a Feather") meeting on SPARQL Futures including the question of
what, if anything, a "SPARQL2" (1.1?) might cover.
Location: 201B, level2
Time: 16:30 Wednesday (23rd)
See you there
Andy
:-(
not there. any tangible outcomes to report? anywhere to place input?
:-( from me too.
It seems that there is a public record of the BOF here:
http://www.w3.org/2008/04/23-dawg-minutes.html
Of course, the ESW Wiki remains a good place to document suggested
SPARQL extensions (which in turn often are suggested work areas for
SPARQL2):
http://esw.w3.org/topic/SPARQL/Extensions
We basically would have to throw in the following proposals for SPARQL2:
- propose marriage with XQuery [1] (that might be outside SPARQL itself,
since it affects both SPARQL and XQuery)
- using sparql as a view-definition language [2,3]
- a proper syntax for aggregates and vuilt-ins in the construct part
(our proposal is documented in [2])
Offhand I'm not sure if/which of these are covered on the ESW Wiki or
not. I encourage you (and anyone else) to add to the Wiki as
appropriate, and to discuss potential extensions on this list.
