Jonathan's chapter provides a great introductory overview of XQuery
features. Don Chamberlin's excellent chapter on "Influences on the Design of
XQuery" can also be found online at

     http://www.informit.com/content/downloads/chap2_0321180607.pdf

    Any given database can emit a schema of itself to inform other systems what counts as
   legitimate and useful queries."
