Submission request to W3C (W3C Team Comment)


We, W3C member eBusiness Technologies, Inc. hereby submit to the Consortium the following specification, comprising the following document(s) attached hereto:

  1. XTND - XML Transition Network Definition
  2. XEXPR - XML Expression Language

which collectively are referred to as "the submission". We request the submission be known as the XTND/XEXPR submission.

Abstract

In XML-based standards there often arises the need for two components:

This submission is made up of two parts: XTND and XEXPR. XTND is a generic DTD that can be used for describing transition networks, and their interaction with the outside world. XEXPR is a scripting language that uses XML syntax, and hence is designed to be embedded in XML. XTND uses XEXPR.

eBT is submitting these two specifications to the W3C in the hope that they will be incorporated into future specifications that need such functionality.
