Graph Query Language GQL

April 17, 2024 – The GQL Standard is published!

The GQL standard, ISO/IEC 39075:2024 Information technology — Database languages — GQL, is officially published and available for purchase on the ISO web store! 

For a short description of the GQL database language, see https://jtc1info.org/slug/gql-database-language/ .

March 29, 2024 – GQL Status Update

The GQL FDIS ballot closed on 2024-03-23 00:06:03 (in some timezone), with 14 national standards bodies approving, 0 disapproving, and 6 abstaining. There were 14 editorial corrections. The GQL editors (Stefan Plantikow and Stephen Cannan) made the corrections and submitted a revised document to the ISO Central Secretariat (ISO CS) for publication. ISO CS replaced the front and back cover pages, made some other small edits, and produced a copy for the GQL editors to review. Stefan and Stephen have approved the review copy so we are waiting for ISO CS to officially publish ISO/IEC 39075:2024 Information technology — Database languages — GQL. We do not yet have an official publication date so our best estimate is still late April or early May, 2024.

January 16, 2024 – GQL Status Update

It took longer than I had expected, but the ISO Central Secretariat (ISO CS) has scheduled the Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) ballot for GQL (ISO/IEC 39075:2024 Information technology — Database languages — GQL). The FDIS Voting begins on 2024-01-26 and finishes on 2024-03-22.

The FDIS ballot is likely to produce some editorial corrections. The editorial corrections will be made fairly quickly, so I expect the GQL standard to be submitted for publication in by the end of March, 2024.

The publication process takes six to eight weeks so ISO/IEC 39075:2024 Information technology — Database languages — GQL should officially be published in late April or early May of 2024!
