Proposal for ebXML Regrep Query

[Len Gallagher <LGallagher@nist.gov>]

All,

Attached below (PDF file - 10 pages) is a proposal for an ebXML Query
syntax. It is very much like a "focused query" in that it leverages the
named classes and associations of the Registry Information Model (RIM). It
also has many of the advantages of a "constrained ad hoc query" in that it
allows Boolean predicates over the visible attributes of each class defined
in RIM.

As indicated by Yuta's note below, this proposal will be one of two
discussed at next Tuesday's Regrep teleconference.
