The Joint US/EU ad hoc Agent Markup Language Committee [1]
is pleased to announce the initial release [2] of the DAML
Query Language (DQL).  DQL provides a language and protocol
for agent-to-agent query-answering dialogues using knowledge
represented in DAML+OIL (March 2001) [3], potentially
involving inference and remote knowledge bases.

The current release consists of an abstract specification.
Continuing work is expected to result in a normative
external syntax and a fully defined specification of answer
justifications.

Please direct comments to joint-committee@daml.org.
