The SPARQL Maintenance (EXISTS) Community Group<\/a> has been launched:<\/p>\n

\n

The “SPARQL Maintenance (EXISTS)” Community Group is a forum to discuss and address problems with the “EXISTS” feature in SPARQL 1.1.<\/p>\n

The SPARQL 1.1 suite of specifications<\/a> and the SPARQL 1.1 test suite<\/a> are frozen. A process exists to record errata and that will be one input to any working group chartered to revise SPARQL.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, SPARQL is being used in real-work systems in industry and public-sector. The user community expects a high degree of conformance across implementations.<\/p>\n

The EXISTS feature has been found to be problematic. This feature is used by the RDF Data Shapes Working Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This community group will create CG Notes and accompanying test suites to describe one or more improvements with an emphasis on maintaining compatibility.<\/p>\n

This group is not producing specifications.<\/p>\n

Any tests produced by the will submitted to the RDF Test Suite Curation CG<\/a> for long-term stewardship.<\/p>\n

\n

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

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2016-07-01 by Andy Seaborne. The following people supported its creation: Andy Seaborne, A Soroka, Peter Patel-Schneider, Simon Steyskal, Axel Polleres. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.<\/p>\n

The group must now choose a chair<\/a>. Read more about how to get started in a new group<\/a> and good practice for running a group<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.<\/p>\n

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<\/a><\/p>\n
