Subject: Last Call for comments on SPARQL Query Language for RDF

Comments on

 SPARQL Query Language for RDF
 http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-rdf-sparql-query-20050721/

are due to public-rdf-dawg-comments@w3.org by 1 Sep 2005.

In particular, we seek the following reviews:

 - confirmation from the XML Query and XSLT Working Groups that
   our use of XPath functions and operators is consistent with
   their design, and in particular, that comments from
   Ashok Malhotra of 16 May
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2005AprJun/0239
   have been addressed in a satisfactory way

 - "architectural review" from the Semantic Web Best Practices
   and Deployment Working Group

The RDF Data Access Working Group (DAWG) decided 28 June
  http://www.w3.org/2005/06/28-dawg-minutes#item09
that it has a design that addresses its requirements[ucr]
and has no outstanding issues[issues].

Outstanding dissent remains on a number of requirements
and design decisions, as detailed in the issues list[issues].

Reminder: per the W3C Patent Policy[pp], Working Group participants
have until 2005-09-19, i.e. 60 days from the publication of the Last
Call Working Draft, to exclude any claims made essential by the Last
Call Working Draft not included in earlier drafts.
