I need a search tool for structured documents and would be grateful for pointers to existing tools which are free and re-usable. My target language is Java. I would intend to use the TEI syntax (does it come in different flavours?). I would also intend to use a graphically-based query if possible as well as a commandline. Has this been tried and are there any metaphors which have proved to be useful? How do most humans currently construct TEI quries? Do they learn the language and use a command line or do they get customised queries? This is sufficiently important for me that I shall need to do it myself if there is no alternative, but it seems like something that can be developed as a problem-independent module, so long as the API from the parser of other tools (e.g. GUIs) is clear. The search needs to have the flexibility to include <TT>FOREIGN</TT>, i.e. the ability to include non-XML-based methods. (In my own case it would be molecular substructure searches, which are essentially labelled subgraph matching algorithms). It should also include the <TT>SPACE</TT> facility, because this is going to be extremely important in technical documents. [The WG has suggested that the TEI syntax may be an important part of XML PhaseII, but I am not sure of the timescale for resolution. My request would be currently useful for documents prepared for the PhaseI draft and doesn't prejudge the WG deliberations.] P. -- Peter Murray-Rust, domestic net connection Virtual School of Molecular Sciences http://www.vsms.nottingham.ac.uk/ xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers Archived as: http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/ To unsubscribe, send to majordomo@i... the following message; unsubscribe xml-dev List coordinator, Henry Rzepa (rzepa@i...)
