Description
A specification for a parameterized query search interface for consideration as input to the OASIS Search Web Services TC.
This specification is for discussion purposes only and has no official standing at present.
This specification is an evolution of a parameterized query interface whose origins are in the ebXML RegRep (ISO 15000, part 3, 4) standard. It has been written with the intent of contributing it as an input to the OASIS Search Web Services TC.
It is proposed that the current SRU based discussion draft specification and this specification be aligned and merged with the resulting uniform syntax support both CQL and Parameterized queries. With this intent in mind, this specification has been written to align as best as possible with [SWS-SRU] and uses the same terms whenever possible. Notably, support for CQL query is available via a canonical parameterized query called CQLQuery as defined in section 3.4.
