This document describes the namespace
http://www.w3.org/2007/xquery-update-10 defined by the
[XQuery Update Facility 1.0]
specification (Recommendation of 13 March 2011).
This namespace is typically identified by the namespace prefix xqxuf:,
which is not a predefined prefix.
For updated information, please refer to the latest version of the
[XQuery Update Facility 1.0] specification.
This document contains a directory of links to related resources, using RDDL (as defined in [Resource Directory Description Language (RDDL)]).
It is GRDDL-enabled (as defined in [Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages (GRDDL)]), that is to say that a GRDDL-compliant processor can extract useful RDF (as defined in [Resource Description Framework (RDF): Concepts and Abstract Syntax]) representations of the information contained herein.
There are two syntaxes in which [XQuery Update Facility 1.0] queries can be written. One is the so-called human-readable syntax defined by [XQuery Update Facility 1.0] as an extension to the syntax defined in [XQuery 1.0], while the other is an XML syntax for XQuery defined by [XQuery Update Facility 1.0] as an extension to the XML vocabulary defined in [XQueryX 1.0].
XQueryX, as defined in [XQueryX 1.0]
is specified in the namespace http://www.w3.org/2005/XQueryX, which
is defined by an XML Schema.
This schema specifies the XML syntax of the XQuery expressions defined in [XQuery 1.0]. It is located at http://www.w3.org/2005/XQueryX/xqueryx.xsd.
The XML syntax defined in
[XQuery Update Facility 1.0]
is specified in the namespace http://www.w3.org/2007/xquery-update-10,
which extends the XML vocabulary defined in the namespace http://www.w3.org/2005/XQueryX.
It is defined by a pair of XML Schemas.
This schema specifies the XML syntax of the XQuery Update expressions defined in [XQuery Update Facility 1.0]. It is located at http://www.w3.org/2007/xquery-update-10/xquery-update-10-xqueryx.xsd.
This schema redefines components of the XML Schema defined in [XQueryX 1.0] as needed by the syntax defined in [XQuery Update Facility 1.0]. It is located at http://www.w3.org/2007/xquery-update-10/xquery-update-10-xqueryx-redef.xsd.
XQuery Update Facility 1.0 queries written using the XML syntax must be valid according to those two schemas.
Validation must be performed as defined by [XML Schema Part 1: Structures Second Edition],
using strict validation, full validation attempted, using the <xqx:module> element as the validation root.
The result of that validation must not be invalid or notKnown.
Queries written using the XML syntax of [XQuery 1.0] have semantics that are defined by the XQuery "human-readable" syntax that results from transforming those XML syntax queries using the stylesheet located at http://www.w3.org/2008/12/XQueryX/xqueryx.xsl.
Queries written using the XML syntax of [XQuery Update Facility 1.0] have semantics that are defined by the XQuery "human-readable" syntax that results from transforming those XML syntax queries using the stylesheet located at http://www.w3.org/2007/xquery-update-10/xquery-update-10-xqueryx.xsl. This stylesheet extends the stylesheet defined in [XQuery 1.0] that is located at http://www.w3.org/2005/XQueryX/xqueryx.xsl.

This document describes the names that are defined in this namespace at the time of publication. The W3C reserves the right to define additional names in this namespace in the future. [XQuery Update Facility 1.0] is the only specification that is permitted to amend this namespace.
