XQuery

XQuery is a powerful query language, maybe it should be included or talked about in this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.153.251.65 (talk) 14:36, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TQL

The mulgara semantic database appears to use a rdf query language not listed here, TQL. Dantman (talk) 18:36, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge this article into Resource Description Framework?

I don't see any reason for this to be a standalone article, and I think it makes sense to turn it into a redirect to Resource Description Framework. For whatever reason, there don't seem to be many notable RDF query languages. Only a few have their own Wikipedia article: SPARQL/SPARUL (I don't know if that counts as one or two) and Versa. Other, non-query technologies contain an RDF-querying component, like XUL and Adenine. It's all information that can fit easily into the main RDF article, and in fact it's already there, at Resource_Description_Framework#Query_and_inference_languages. Yaron K.

Oppose When there are a number of notable examples of such query languages and processors, and when RDF has an independent existence without applying such queries to it, then there is clearly scope for an article on the general intersection of RDF & query.

Also we have a practice of discussion and consensus before making large scale changes, such as blanking articles (and we also have AfD). We do not work by simply blanking a series of articles on individual whim. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:06, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
