FYI, I saw this in the W3C news.

 

XML-Binary Packaging and SOAP Transmission Optimization Working Drafts
Published

 

   The XML Protocol Working Group has released the First Public Working

   Draft of "XML-binary Optimized Packaging" (XOP). XOP allows efficient

   serializing of certain types of XQuery and XPath 2.0 element content.

   Based on XOP, the group also published an updated Working Draft of

   the "SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism" for improving

   SOAP performance. Visit the Web services home page.

Subject: Announcement of Potential New Project : EXPRESS and Binary Data
Representation

 

Meeting Name: EXPRESS and Binary Data Representation

Start Date: 2004-03-02 Tuesday

Time(s): 1:00pm - 3:00pm 3:30pm - 5:00pm 

 

Agenda

 

1) Discuss initiation of PWI or NWI

2) Initiation of Requirements Document

3) Initiation of Related Activities/Standards/Tools Document

4) Plan next actions

 

The idea is to standardize or use an existing binary representation of data
for EXPRESS users whose applications require large volumes of data such as
the analysis APs. An initial meeting was held at the Poitiers ISO. 

 

Note that there are already binary representations of data and that W3C is
having a related discussion with respect to a binary representation for XML
documents. All these activities are relevant. The expectation is that a PWI
or NWI will result but that it may not be necessary to invent a
representation ourselves. We may simply standardize the use of something
that already exists or is under development.

 

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or comments,

Cheers,

David
