Date:      Tue, 27 Nov 2001 10:53:07 -0500
From:      "Karl F. Best" <karl.best@oasis-open.org>
To:        members@lists.oasis-open.org, tc-announce@lists.oasis-open.org,
Subject:   New OASIS discussion list: TransQuery

Upon the request by three eligible participants, I have created an OASIS Discussion List whose purpose is to discuss the possible creation of an OASIS Technical Committee. Discussion on the list will begin in seven days, and the list and its archive will be deleted after 90 days, after which time a TC may be formed or not.

The scope of discussion is TransQuery, a small, flexible set of XSLT conventions and processing model constraints that enable the use of XSLT as a query language over multiple XML documents. TransQuery addresses interoperability between XML databases and document management systems that use XSLT as their primary data access language.

To learn more about TransQuery in its current form, see the following resources:

TransQuery specification: http://www.xmlportfolio.com/transquery/specification
TransQuery FAQ: http://www.xmlportfolio.com/transquery/faq
TransQuery demo: http://www.xyzfind.com/transquery
TransQuery SourceForge project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/transquery

The discussion list has been proposed by the following Individual member of OASIS:

Evan Lenz, elenz@xyzfind.com (Individual member)
Eric van der Vlist, vdv@dyomedea.com (Individual member)
Francis Norton, francis@redrice.com (Individual member)
Leigh Dodds, ldodds@ingenta.com (Individual member)

The discussion leader will be Evan Lenz.

In order to participate in this discussion you should subscribe to the discussion list using the subscription form at http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl or by sending a message to transquery-discuss-request@lists.oasis-open.org with the word "subscribe" as the body of the message.
