Abstract
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops a wide range of standards for data processing on the Web. Prominent examples are RDF, SPARQL, XML, XPath, XQuery, and XSLT. Since these standards are widely used, they bring many interesting challenges for researchers. During the development of these standards, the W3C often works under a rather tight time schedule and does not always have all the cards on the table when design decisions need to be made. This is a situation in which research and practice can greatly benefit from each other. The W3C continuously releases drafts of the standards which researchers can investigate. Researchers can inform the W3C of their results and, conversely, the W3C can give the opportunity to immediately incorporate research results into practice.
