I’m pondering implementing the computational parts of the XForms Model in XQuery. Doing so in a largely functional environment poses some challenges, though. Has anybody tackled this before? How about in any functional language, including ML, Haskell, Scheme, XSLT, or careful Python?
I borrowed the book Purely Functional Data Structures from a friend–this looks to be [...]

XiX (XForms in XQuery)
Submitted by administrator on Thu, 10/30/2008 - 22:07.More mobile XForms goodness
Submitted by administrator on Fri, 10/10/2008 - 22:02.I haven’t tried this, but these guys claim to have a solution where
The form definitions are saved and exchanged as XForms, and the data as XForm[s] models. The data can be exchanged over http (if the phone users can afford GPRS and have a data connection) or over compressed SMS messages.
Sounds like they have the [...]
XRX
Submitted by administrator on Thu, 05/29/2008 - 22:09.Bumped into XRX today. XForms + REST + XQuery. I like the sound of this, and XForms on the client just got a whole bunch easier…
I’m seeing multiple signs that the confluence of XForms and XQuery has legs. (And REST just plain makes sense in any situation). -m
Yahoo! introduces mobile XForms
Submitted by administrator on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 03:15.Admittedly, their marketing folks wouldn’t describe it that way, but essentially that’s what was announced today. (documentation in PDF format, closely related to what-used-to-be Konfabulator tech; here’s the interesting part in HTML) The press release talks about reaching “billions” of mobile consumers; even if you don’t put too much emphasis on press releases (you shouldn’t) [...]
XML 2007 buzz: XForms 1.1
Submitted by administrator on Fri, 12/21/2007 - 18:01.One whole evening of the program was devoted to XForms, focused around the new 1.1 Candidate Recommendation. I admit that some of the early 1.1 drafts gave me pause, but these guys did a good job cleaning up some of the dim corners and adding the right features in the right places. This is worth [...]
XForms evening at XML 2007
Submitted by administrator on Mon, 10/15/2007 - 15:47.Depending on who’s asking and who’s answering, W3C technologies take 5 to 10 years to get a strong foothold. Well, we’re now in the home stretch for the 5th anniversary of XForms Essentials, which was published in 2003. In past conferences, XForms coverage has been maybe a low-key tutorial, a few day sessions, and hallway [...]
simple parsing of space-seprated attributes in XPath/XSLT
Submitted by administrator on Tue, 10/02/2007 - 03:29.It’s a common need to parse space-separated attribute values from XPath/XSLT 1.0, usually @class or @rel. One common (but incorrect) technique is simple equality test, as in {@class=”vcard”}. This is wrong, since the value can still match and still have other literal values, like “foo vcard” or “vcard foo” or ” foo vcard bar “.

Submitted by administrator on Tue, 02/13/2007 - 20:55.ERH’s comments on XForms, as part of his predictions for 2007. Worth a read. -m

Micah visiting UC Berkeley
Submitted by administrator on Mon, 11/27/2006 - 01:15.This Wednesday, I’m visiting Berkeley to speak with visiting professor Erik Wilde and his School of Information students. It’s an open-ended discussion, but will almost certainly center on XForms, the intentional web, and related information flow technologies. If you’re in Berkeley this Wednesday, drop me a line. -m
