XQuery is known to be a powerful XML query language with many bells and whistles. For many common queries we do not need all the expressive power of XQuery. We investigate the eff...

We present in this paper an approach for XQuery optimization that exploits minimization opportunities raised in composition-style nesting of queries. More precisely, we consider t...
XML-based databases have become a major area of in database research. Abstractly speaking they can be considered as a resurrection of complexvalue databases using constructors for...

: Relational database systems are highly efficient hosts to table-shaped data. It is all the more interesting to see how a careful inspection of both, the XML tree structure as wel...
XQuery, the standard query language for XML, is increasingly popular among computer scientists with a SQL background, since queries in XQuery and SQL require comparable skills to ...
Abstract. We are presenting a coherent framework for XQuery processing that incorporates IR-style approximate matching and allows the ordering of results by their relevance score. ...
In this paper, we describe an approach to boosting the performance of an XQuery engine by identifying and exploiting opportunities to share processing both within and across XML qu...

Relational database systems may be turned into efficient XML and XPath processors if the system is provided with a suitable relational tree encoding. This paper extends this relat...
The World Wide Web Consortium recommends both XSLT and XQuery as query languages for XML documents. XSLT, originally designed to transform XML into XSL-FO, is nowadays a fully gro...
XQuery is a feature-rich language with complex semantics. This makes it hard to come up with a benchmark suite which covers all performance-critical features of the language, and a...
