ISO JTC1/WG4, the body responsible for the SGML, DSSSL and HyTime standards, is organizing a by-invitation Workshop on accessing and exchanging metadata represented in SGML from databases, knowledge bases and search tools, which will be held on the day after SGML/XML Europe Conference in Paris. One of the questions this workshop has to consider is that of standardized methods of exchanging queries related to SGML and XML documents. Among those attending the workshop will be the editors of the SQL and SQL/MM standards. This workshop may lead to the development of a standardized mechanism for exchanging database queries and updates between XML systems.
