1 Introduction

This document describes the namespace http://www.w3.org/2010/xslt-xquery-serialization defined by the [XQuery and XQuery Serialization 3.0] specification (April 2014 version). This namespace is typically identified by the namespace prefix output:, which is not a predefined prefix. For updated information, please refer to the latest version of the [XQuery and XQuery Serialization 3.0] 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.

2 XML Schema

The [XQuery and XQuery Serialization 3.0] specification provides a number of serialization parameters. Those parameters are described by an XML Schema.

The [XQuery and XQuery Serialization 3.0] specification defines a schema for XML Infoset instances with which a user of a host language may specify serialization parameters for use in serializing an instance of the XQuery and XPath Data Model. The schema also provides hooks that allow the inclusion of implementation-defined serialization parameters and implementation-defined modifiers to serialization parameters.

This schema defines the XML syntax of serialization parameters specified in [XQuery and XQuery Serialization 3.0]. It is located at http://www.w3.org/2014/04/xslt-xquery-serialization/schema-for-serialization-parameters.xsd.

The following serialization parameters are defined by that schema:

output:byte-order-mark
output:cdata-section-elements
output:doctype-public
output:doctype-system
output:encoding
output:escape-uri-attributes
output:html-version
output:include-content-type
output:indent
output:item-separator
output:media-type
output:method
output:normalization-form
output:omit-xml-declaration
output:standalone
output:suppress-indentation
output:undeclare-prefixes
output:use-character-maps
output:version

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 and XQuery Serialization 3.0] is the only specification that is permitted to amend this namespace. It may, however, be augmented by other specifications that define Serialization 3.0 extensions.
