Hi Roger, What you were expecting might correspond to the following XQuery Scripting Extension program (mind the semi-colons, which apply the PUL): let $source := doc(‘FitnessCenter. xml ‘) for $i in $source//Member return ( delete node $i/Name; replace node $i/@level with attribute {‘id’} {data($i/Name)}; ) With this program, for each member, the second instruction sees the side effect of the first instruction – unlike your original XQuery Update Facility program, it should fail and the attribute id will be empty. In an XQuery Update Facility (XQUF) program, as Markus said, you will not see any side effects during the execution of the program (this is called snapshot semantics).

its value?

Hi Roger, XQuery updates do not apply during execution. Instead your query will just return a pending update list (during its creation the element is still there) and will then apply all updates. Best Markus On Sat, Mar 13, 2010 at 6:07 PM, Costello, Roger L.

Hi Martin, Thanks, that was something I missed (a lot of docs to sift through when learning XQuery !) Unfortunately, my implementation (in BEA ALSB 2.6) does not support that declaration. However, the in-scope-prefixes() function does work so I will try to use that to add the namespaces and hope that they do not get re-removed.

As I announced a few weeks ago , the RDF Next Steps Workshop will take place at NCBO, in Standford, US. A separate page has now been published on the details of the location , especially on hotels. Let me also use this blog entry as a gentle reminder that the deadline for the position paper submissions is on April the 4th

As part of a series of interviews with W3C Members to learn more about their support for standards and participation in W3C, I ‘m talking to Paul Cotton from Microsoft and co-Chair of the W3C HTML Working Group. First, let me thank you personally on becoming a co-chair of the W3C HTML Working Group

With a Future of XML workshop in the offing, maybe it’s time to revisit one of the oldest XML feature requests: binding general entities without using the internal/external subset. There have been numerous more-or-less serious proposals to address this requirement over the years—here’s a new (?) one

We did it again ! Back in 2008, the Mobile Web Test Suites Working Group released its first Web Compatibility Test for Mobile Browsers that packed 12 (and later, 16) important Web technologies into a single page that would tell you at a glance how well your browser supported them. Fast forward to 2010, the level of support on this first Web compatibility test has tremendously improved, although the browsers that show a fully green grid are still few. But in the meantime, the technologies have also evolved, and while many of them are still not final by any means, it seemed that getting an overview of which of these technologies are available today on what browsers would make a good follow-up to our first test.

Some of you are familiar with the W3C Chairs angels, three home-made bots living in IRC , that are truly essential to the W3C Working Groups conducting their work on the phone: Trackbot, the toolbox, is the bot for creating and tracking issues and action items during meetings. Zakim, the phone, is the bot connecting people on phone, controlling the agenda of meetings, and managing the questions and queue
