| Abstract | Increasing amounts of information are stored, exchanged, and presented by means of
XML. In order to achieve effective manipulation of a large collection XML documents, there
arises an essential need for an XML standard language, which allows users to query, retrieve,
transform and construct XML data which meet precise requirements. Xquery - an XML
language query - provides features for retrieval and interpretation of information from diverse
XML document sources.
However, so far, there is no unification with respect to the standard XML query
language. Although, Xquery has been recommended by W3C, it is not yet the latest version; it
is changing continuously month by month. Hence it is not easy to build a engine for Xquery's
execution of a query. Hitherto, Microsoft has developed Microsoft's XQuery Demo, which,
however, is only a demonstration version and has many drawbacks.
This is an approach to XML query formulation and evaluation developed by means of
XML Declarative Description (XDD) theory. It comprises one or more XML clauses so that
its syntax can be subdivided into three specifications: Pattern of XML elements, criteria and
the structure of the resulting elements. It supp011s formulation of essential functionality
requirements for an XML query language such as selection, extraction, combination,
transformation for specified XML databases. |
