Thank you all for your replies. My apologies for the confusion -- a, c1, c2, s and f are variables (and not literals) that would match some node in the XML tree. 'a' is a range variable to facilitate joins, as Michael correctly pointed out. I was using them thinking that the explanation would be easier (but I made it more confusing). Brandon, you are absolutely right! I was avoiding bringing RDF into this forum, but here is the prime reason for asking my initial question to the list. We have a new algorithm for answering regular path queries on RDF graphs. Given a start node, an end node in an RDF graph, a regular path query takes a regular expression in terms of the edge labels and checks if there is a path satisfied by the regex between the two nodes. For the sake of comparison (required in order to publish the work), we thought we could transform the RDF to XML and use XPath to formulate our regex. As you correctly pointed out, RDF graphs can be encoded differently. We dont know a good way around it right now that would transform our regex query into a nice XPath expression. Thanks once again. Regards, Vineet
