Hello All, The following sample XML document is generated from an RDF graph: <DBLP> <Book rdf:about="Book1"> <chapter> <Chapter rdf:about="Introduction"> <section> <Section rdf:about="Section1"> <cites rdf:resource="Article2"/> <figure>"Example RDF graph"</figure> </Section> </section> </Chapter> </chapter> </Book> <Article rdf:about="Article2"> <chapter> <Chapter rdf:about="Proof"> <section> <Section rdf:about="Semi-joins"> <cites rdf:resource="Book3"/> <figure>"Example Semi-join"</figure> </Section> </section> </Chapter> </chapter> </Article> </DBLP> I am trying to understand if a path query on an RDF graph can be represented as an XPath query over the corresponding XML structure. So the query that I am trying to represent is: Is there a Book "Book1" that has a chapter 'c1' that cites some article 'a' and does this article 'a' have a chapter 'c2' which has a section 's' which has a figure 'f' which is called "Example semi-joins". This is a binary yes/no type of query. 'c1', 'c2', 'a', 's' and 'f' are introduced for the sake of explaining the query. In the XML above, c1=Introduction, a="Article 2", c2="Proof", s="Semi-Joins". Since I am new to XPath, I am finding it hard to express this query.I am not even sure if this can be expressed in XPath. I have just broken down a single query to explain my line of thinking. This is how far I could come: If X = //*[@rdf:about='Book1']//Chapter//cites@ref:resource ---- I expect this to give me all the ref:resource attribute nodes? //Article[@ref:about==X]//Chapter//Section//figure[text() == "Example semi-joins"] ---- Can I match the attribute nodes above with the ref:about attribute in Article? Any ideas how I could do this? Thanks in anticipation, Vineet
