Do you have pointers to the specs of these languages, by any chance?
I doubt that I've ever heard of them.

I'm currently quite happy with the RefDB query language which is
basically a SQL subset.
I'm of the opinion that the free software bib world will not go
anywhere* if we don't solve the problem of interoperability. SRU/W and
CQL is one solution that problem.

* By "anywhere" I mean provide really high-quality applications for
end-users, including the mass of MS Word users out there.; real
alternatives to applications like Endnote. We're nowhere near that
now.
