Although I did not attend this presentation because it was held at a time of an XML track,
I am including a reference to what looks like
a very good talk. It explains the rapidly growing interest in query languages and
how the W3C is trying to combine the syntax of XSL and XPointer with a query language.
It is significant to note that both the Best Presentation and Best Paper conference
awards
went to other presentations on query languages. See the Awards section of this article.
