Abstract

This document records all known errors in the SPARQL Query Results XML Format specification; for updates see the latest version of that document.

The errata are numbered, classified as Substantive or Editorial, and listed in reverse chronological order of their date of publication in each category.

Each entry has the following information:

Changes to the text of the specification are indicated thus: new, added text, modified text, and deleted text. Substantive corrections are proposed by the RDF Data Access Working Group (part of the Web Services Activity), which has consensus that they are appropriate; they are not to be considered normative until approved by a Call for Review of Proposed Corrections or a Call for Review of an Edited Recommendation.

Comments may be sent to public-rdf-dawg-comments@w3.org mailing list (public archive). Each message should contain only one comment. It will be very helpful if you include the string [XMLres-errata] in the subject line of your comment.
