[jira] [Comment Edited] (JENA-508) Add support for XPath 3 Functions

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-508?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14360924#comment-14360924 ]

Hi Rob,

Thank you for the explanation. I went through the documents you have provided and that gave a good idea about how to implement extension functions. Now I'm working on cloning Jena source and trying to implement some custom functions to make sure that I have grasped the details mentioned in those documents.

However I'm bit confused about the relevance with project idea (Xpath 3) and extension functions. As far as I have understood project idea is to port functions mentioned in XPath 3 spec to Jena functions in order to give support in SPARQL queries. Am I right? 

About my availability. Yes usually we don't have summer in our university. However our final exams finish at the end of April. So after April I can spend a significant amount of time (35 -50 hours per week) with the project because academic works are almost over after final exams.

Should we move this conversation to mailing list?

> XPath 3 is now a Candidate Recommendation - http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-30/
> It contains many new functions and operators (particularly in the mathematical space) which we should consider adding into future versions of ARQ.
