Call for Review: XQuery 3.0, XPath 3.0, Data Model, Functions and Operators and XSLT and XQuery Serialization 3.0

The XML Query Working Group and the XSLT Working Group have published five Proposed Recommendations today:

• XQuery 3.0: An XML Query Language. XQuery is a domain-specific language for querying collections of XDM trees.
• XML Path Language (XPath) 3.0. XPath is a domain-specific language for referencing parts of a tree represented as an instance of the XPath and XQuery Data Model (XDM).
• XQuery and XPath Data Model 3.0.This specification defines the XPath and XQuery Data Model (XDM).
• XPath and XQuery Functions and Operators 3.0. The Functions and Operators specification defines facilities for XPath and XQuery.
• XSLT and XQuery Serialization 3.0. Serialization specifies how to represent an XDM instance as XML, as HTML or as text. The XDM is most often used to represent XML documents as trees, but can also represent other data formats such as JSON, RDF or relational databases.
