Timeframe for supporting fn:load-xquery-module()?

Hello,
The docs say:
"The three functions
fn:transform, fn:load-xquery-module and fn:collation-key may be added in a future version of BaseX as their implementation might require the use of additional external libraries."
Is there a timeframe for this? I'm interested in particular in the load-xquery-module() to enable an implementation of Schematron written in pure XQuery[1] to be portable between engines[2].
Many thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your mail. I've seen your and Adam’s comment, but I didn't have time yet to give a reply. We’ll add an implementation of
fn:load-xquery-module in BaseX 11, which is planned for Summer/Fall this year. A proof-of-concept implementation will be made available with BaseX 10.7 or 10.8.
All the best

I am very interested in an implementation of Schematron that would work well with BaseX—we use Schematron very heavily at ServiceNow and I have been trying to implement some Schematron features in our Mirabel BaseX application, although I’ve had very little time to work on it. We are trying to implement a “Schematron tester” that lets you explore existing Schematron rules and see how they function against the content managed in the BaseX databases and also create and test new rules. My current implementation is very crude and doesn’t implement the full range of what you can do in a Schematron.
If there’s anything I can do to assist or test a Schematron implementation, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Cheers,
Eliot

XQS looks like an interesting approach, thanks for the pointer.
I guess you do know about it, but if you do not, for "an implementation of Schematron that would work well with BaseX" I use SchXslt quite heavily, which can be installed with your BaseX installation with the REPO command, see https://github.com/schxslt/schxslt/releases

Hi all,
Thanks so much, Christian - I didn't mean to chase you for an answer, just unsure who can see what where, and also wanted to ensure your answer was visible on this forum :)
Eliot, SchXslt that Daniel mentions is well worth a look - the de facto reference implementation now that the "skeleton" one is archived. XQS is at an early stage, but am hopeful it can gain some traction, especially in the XQuery community. If you are still open to it, I may take you up on your kind offer.
Thanks,
Andrew

Written for BaseX 10.6. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
