Three SPARQL Proposed Recommendations: SPARQL Query Language for RDF;
Query Results XML Format; Protocol for RDF
The RDF Data Access Working Group has published three SPARQL
Proposed Recommendations: "SPARQL Query Language for RDF," "SPARQL
Query Results XML Format," and "SPARQL Protocol for RDF." The
first specification defines the syntax and semantics of the SPARQL
query language for RDF. SPARQL can be used to express queries across
diverse data sources, whether the data is stored natively as RDF or
viewed as RDF via middleware. The results of SPARQL queries can be
results sets or RDF graphs; the second specification defines an XML
format for the variable binding and boolean results formats. The
third specification uses "WSDL 2.0" to describe an HTTP protocol for
conveying SPARQL queries to an SPARQL query processing service and
returning the query results to the party that made the request.
Comments are welcome through 10 December. Learn more about the
Semantic Web Activity.

Web Services Policy 1.5 Notes: Primer; Guidelines for Policy Assertion
Authors
The Web Services Policy Working Group has published two Group Notes:
"Web Services Policy 1.5 - Primer" and "Web Services Policy 1.5 -
Guidelines for Policy Assertion Authors." The former introduces the
Web Services Policy language with examples. The latter explains how
to use the relevant specifications to maximize interoperability.
