XQVT: A Visual XQuery Language
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is a research project submitted for credit in the Non-Traditional Databases course at the University of Waterloo. We present the XQuery Visualization Tool (XQVT), an XQuery interface built upon a graphical language. The XQVT language maintains all the power of XQuery. This paper describes the XQVT language and illustrates sample queries. A prototype language implementation and user interface are proposed.

Visual Specification and Optimization of XQuery Using VXQ
As the popularity of XML increases, the need for querying collections of XML data from various systems becomes imperative. Proposed by W3C, XQuery is becoming a standard for querying such systems. However, the complexity of XQuery prevents its usage by broad audience. This paper proposes a visual XQuery specification language called VXQ to address this issue. By intuitive abstractions of XML an...
متن کاملFoXQ -XQuery by forms
We introduce FoXQ, a visual language that would enable end users to query XML. Our aim is to develop a language that would bring a lot of the functionality of XQuery within the reach of the end users without getting them embroiled in the intricacies of XQuery syntax. The query interface is form-based and the query model is based on a document metaphor in which the users formulate queries by fil...
متن کاملA Graphical XQuery Language Using Nested Windows
A graphical XQuery-based language using nested windows, GXQL, is presented. Definitions of both syntax and semantics are provided. Expressions in GXQL can be directly translated into corresponding XQuery expressions. GXQL supports for, let, where, order by and return clauses (FLWOR expressions) and also supports predicates and quantifiers. This graphical language provides a powerful and user-fr...
متن کاملA GUI Based Tool for Generating XQuery and Fuzzy XQuery
In recent years, the extraction of data from XML documents is an important issue for XML research and development. Due to the nature of XML data, formulating an XML query using an XML query language such as XQuery requires considerable effort. A user must be completely familiar with the syntax of the XQuery language, and must be able to express his/her needs accurately in a syntactically correc...
متن کاملA Visual Language for Web Querying and
As XML is increasingly being used to represent information on the Web, query and reasoning languages for such data are needed. This article argues that in contrast to the navigational approach taken in particular by XPath and XQuery, a positional approach as used in the language Xcerpt is better suited for a straightforward visual representation. The constructs of the patternand rule-based quer...
