The XQuery Generator
Whenever there is a need to query XML data one either needs a text
search tool or uses the recently established XQuery
language
that should retrieve results in a more efficient way ...
The XQuery Generator
is a tool
written in Java that enables the user to create XQueries based on a
given XML Schema by defining selections and projections
using a graphical user interface. Currently, the tool only support
projection and selection operations. Extensions to include other
aspects of XQuery, such as restructuring, ordering, aggregation and
grouping, etc., are planned.
The XQuery Generator is
implemented by Christoph Böhm in the context of research
assistance. The interface is already in use in our HumMer tool, where it is used to
specify object descriptions for duplicate detection.
