TriXML, the XML interest group for the triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, NC - USA), will meet tomorrow - Tuesday February 13th at 5:30pm. We are very pleased to have Jonathan Robie speak to the group (details below). For more information on the TriXML group and meeting logistics, look at http://www.trixml.org. Please RSVP to Lisa Pappas at lpappas@v... (and thanks again to the folks at VERITAS). Abstract Quilt: an XML query language XML is an extremely versatile markup language, capable of labeling the information content of diverse data sources including structured and semi-structured documents, relational databases, and object repositories. A query language of similar versatility is needed to realize the potential of XML as a universal medium for data interchange. Most existing proposals for XML query languages are robust for particular types of data sources but weak for other types. In this paper, the authors combine features from several sources to propose a new query language called Quilt, which is designed to be broadly applicable across all types of XML data sources. Biographical Jonathan Robie is a research and development fellow at Software AG. He has been working with XML databases and query languages since 1995, and invented an XML query language called XQL which was a precursor of XQL '98, a query language developed jointly by Robie, Joe Lapp of webMethods, and David Schach of Microsoft. Mr. Robie is currently the editor of XQL '99, which has been developed by participants of the XQL mailing list, and serves as Software AG's representative to the W3C XML Query Language Working Group. In addition, Robie represents Software AG on the W3C XML Schema Working Group and the W3C Document Object Model Working Group, where he has been an editor for both Level 1 and Level 2.
