SPARQL XML Schemas

The SPARQL specifications rely on a set of schemas and WSDL descriptions. These resources are listed below, grouped by the dependent specification. Any substantive changes made to any of these documents will be exposed to the community by a last call of the dependent specification.

SPARQL Query Results XML Format

The target namespace http://www.w3.org/2005/sparql-results# identifies schema descriptions of documents defined in SPARQL Query Results XML Format. The following formal descriptions are available:

SPARQL Protocol for RDF

The Web Services Description Language (WSDL) Version 2.0 target namespace name http://www.w3.org/2005/08/sparql-protocol-query/# describes the Web Services interface defined in SPARQL Protocol for RDF. The W3C XML Schema target namespace name http://www.w3.org/2005/09/sparql-protocol-types/# describes the notional documents used in the input and output of the SPARQL Protocol.

The WSDL description relies on two XML Schema definitions to represent the input and output structures of SPARQL Protocol.

The responses to SELECT and ASK queries is defined by the above SPARQL Query Results XML Format schemas.
