Community & Business Groups

SPARQL-dev Community Group

The SPARQL-dev Community Group is a forum for discussion and refinement of SPARQL. It will document features found as extensions to available triple stores and also document common needs from the user community. The CG aims to create consensus and understanding of the impact of new features with special emphasis on features that leave existing SPARQL queries and systems unchanged. The CG will build a collection of such features leading to a CG report on use cases and requirements.

Chairs, when logged in, may publish draft and final reports. Please see report requirements.

Call for Participation in SPARQL 1.2 Community Group

The SPARQL 1.2 Community Group has been launched:


The SPARQL 1.2 Community Group is a forum for discussion and refinement of SPARQL 1.1. It will document features found as extensions to available triple stores and also document common needs from the user community. The CG aims to create consensus and understanding of the impact of new features with special emphasis on features that leave existing SPARQL 1.1 queries and systems unchanged. The CG will build a collection of such features leading to a CG report on use cases and requirements.


In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2019-03-29 by Andy Seaborne. The following people supported its creation: Andy Seaborne, Ruben Taelman, Adrian Gschwend, Willem Broekema, John Snelson. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.

The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.

We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
