CQL Context Sets

["Ray Denenberg, Library of Congress" <rden@loc.gov>]

Based on recent private discussion I offer the following proposal:

 

Split the CQL standard into two parts - CQL Part 1: Syntax and description; CQL Part 2:  Context Sets.  

 

Part 1 would includes the core sets (cql, sort).  Bib and DC would be moved to Part 2, which  would include some context sets inline, references to others, discussion about registration (and registration vs. standardization) and it  would have a completely different method of maintenance. 

 

Please let me know your reaction to this proposal.  

 

There are several aspects to how we treat context sets that need discussion and we can talk about it next call (Monday, July 20) but I would like initial thoughts on this as soon as possible.

 

Thanks.
