Subject: [xquery-talk] Substring of an attribute.
Message-ID: <5cd259e51001011140v6daee04drc1976d161c93d90e@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I want to take substring from the value of attribute and compare it with
other string.Here is the sample xml files and sample xquery code.

This is first File.

   <*bvf:DocumentAndEntityInformationAbstract* id="*DIM820*" contextRef="*

This is second File

*" xlink:type="*arc*" />

I am trying to take element name from first file and translating ":" into
"-". Then i want to take attribute value of <loc> element and take substring
of attribute affter "#" and compare with element name from first file.
If the comparison is equal , I want all the <loc> elements.

This is xquery code:
for $x in
fn:doc("C:/Users/A/Documents/Sweta/users/sweta231119791251796126671/Other/2008/Quarterly/2nd
Quarterly/bvf-20081231/bvf-20081231.xml")//*[@contextRef and @unitRef]
for $s in
fn:doc("C:/Users/A/Documents/Sweta/users/sweta231119791251796126671/Other/2008/Quarterly/2nd
Quarterly/bvf-20081231/bvf-20081231_pre.xml")/linkbase/presentationLink
return
if(compare($s/loc[substring-after(@xlink:href,'#')],translate(name($x),':','_'))=0)
then $s/loc
else count($s/loc)
  T*his query is giving error. Please suggest how can i do this.
Thanks

Sweta.

This is what you are asking for:

   substring-after(@xlink:href,'#') eq translate(name($x),':','_')]

It would really help volunteers to know what the problem is you are 
having.  And to give XML fragments volunteers can use that will work 
with your query.  For example, your query has a reference to an 
element named linkbase which is not in the XML.

But I've tried to recreate your example below ... I hope this helps.

Hey, we all enjoy doing puzzles over the holiday. But puzzles are more fun
when you give people clues. Just to make it a bit easier, could you tell us

as promised, here is a more official followup from the University
about speakers presentations and published papers.

* In Czech law copyright is always implicit and remains with the
original author, unless an explicit agreement (Copyright Transfer
Agreement) is signed by the Author. The copyright symbol has no real
meaning in legal terms so it being attached or not means naught.

* as for licensing, If there is no written agreement about license
terms in Czech, authors are always giving non-exclusive rights to
publishers as default setting.

* In last years proceedings you will see the following copyrights asserted

Copyright (c) 2009 Ji?? Kosek, V?t Janota
Copyright (c) 2009 MATFYZPRESS, vydavatelstv? Matematicko-fyzik?ln? fakulty

Copyright of individual articles remains in hands of original authors.

MATFYZPRESS retains copyright only on the cover pages, whilst Mr.
Kosek and Mr. Janota retain copyright on the design and
ordering/layout of the articles. Once again, by czech law, the
copyright symbols themselves mean nothing and all rights would get
asserted based on authorship or separate signed agreements.

hope that clears up any misunderstandings.

regards, Jim Fuller

Hi,

The Error message I am getting is
 XPTY0004: A sequence of more than one item is not allowed as the first
argument of
  compare() ("", "", ...) 
 
Thank you. That tells us exactly what is wrong: there is more than one
$s/loc element, and you can't compare them all at once. However, you haven't
made it clear what output you want, for example in the case where one <loc>
element satisfies the condition and other <loc> elements do not. I can't
tell you how to correct your code because you haven't explained the
requirements clearly.
 
You could replace compare($s/loc[EXP], translate(...))=0 by
$s/loc[EXP]=translate(...) -- that would test whether ANY of the $s/loc
elements satisfies the condition. But I don't know if that's the right logic
for you.

Hey, we all enjoy doing puzzles over the holiday. But puzzles are more fun
when you give people clues. Just to make it a bit easier, could you tell us
the error message?

Subject: [xquery-talk] Substring of an attribute.


Hello,

I want to take substring from the value of attribute and compare it with
other string.Here is the sample xml files and sample xquery code.

This is first File.

I am trying to take element name from first file and translating ":" into
"-". Then i want to take attribute value of <loc> element and take substring
of attribute affter "#" and compare with element name from first file.
If the comparison is equal , I want all the <loc> elements.

This is xquery code:
for $x in
fn:doc("C:/Users/A/Documents/Sweta/users/sweta231119791251796126671/Other/20

return
if(compare($s/loc[substring-after(@xlink:href,'#')],translate(name($x),':','
_'))=0)
then $s/loc
else count($s/loc)

 This query is giving error. Please suggest how can i do this.
Thanks

as promised, here is a more official followup from the University
about speakers presentations and published papers.

* In Czech law copyright is always implicit and remains with the
original author, unless an explicit agreement (Copyright Transfer
Agreement) is signed by the Author. The copyright symbol has no real
meaning in legal terms so it being attached or not means naught.

* as for licensing, If there is no written agreement about license
terms in Czech, authors are always giving non-exclusive rights to
publishers as default setting.

* In last years proceedings you will see the following copyrights asserted

Copyright (c) 2009 Ji?? Kosek, V?t Janota
Copyright (c) 2009 MATFYZPRESS, vydavatelstv? Matematicko-fyzik?ln? fakulty

Copyright of individual articles remains in hands of original authors.

MATFYZPRESS retains copyright only on the cover pages, whilst Mr.
Kosek and Mr. Janota retain copyright on the design and
ordering/layout of the articles. Once again, by czech law, the
copyright symbols themselves mean nothing and all rights would get
asserted based on authorship or separate signed agreements.

hope that clears up any misunderstandings.

regards, Jim Fuller

Hi,

This xquery:

<body>
  (: comment one :)
  <p>
  {
    (: comment two :)
    1 to 10
  }
  </p>
</body>

produces this result:

<body>
  (: comment one :)
  <p>1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10</p>
</body>

The fact that the first comment appears in the output seems odd to
me... is that meant to happen, and if so what is the correct way to
put a comment there?

thanks
andrew

I actually bring this up explicitly in my class:

   {() (: comment one :)}

The comment has to be in an expression evaluation, and the expression 
cannot be the empty string, so when I want to do what you need I use 
the empty sequence expression.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Ken.  Do you know if this a quirk of the language or is there a
good reason for it?

Everything within curly braces is parsed as XQuery code, everything not in
curly braces is literal text. So if you want a comment, put it within curly
braces. However, {(: comment :)} is not valid, because the thing within the
curly braces must be an expression. It would have to be {(: comment :)()}.

I wouldn't call it a "quirk" because it simply falls out of the syntax.

You want a comment, and in XQuery you cannot use <!-- --> because 
that constructs a comment node.  So you have to have it in an 
expression.  So that leads you to using the brace brackets for 
evaluating an expression, in which you place the comment.  But, the 
comment is removed from the expression evaluation and all that is 
left is the expression to be evaluated, which cannot be the empty string.

So it all makes sense, and I think it is reasonable.  It is just that 
it doesn't come immediately to mind, which is why it is explicitly 
part of my lecture.

I hope this helps.

whether the reasoning is good or bad it essentially mirrors the
reasoning on attribute value templates in xslt (which is the model for
the {..} syntax for expressions in element content anyway, one would
guess).

in xslt 2
<a x="(:xxxx:)"/>
has an attribute with value (:xxxx:)

<a x="{(),(:xxxx:)}"/>
has an attribute with value an empty string.

Pavel,

I think this is something that the XQuery Working Group needs to 
consider fixing in the next revision of XQuery 1.1. Please can you raise 
this as a bug against the specification on the W3C bugzilla, to make 
sure the working groups attention is directed to it.

I have created bug 8662:

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8662


As a side note, I'm personally leaning towards preferring a special
syntax for function to call itself - it just feels like this is what
I'd be using 99% of all time, and for that other 1% there's always the
hack of passing mutual recursive functions as item() arguments to each
other. Rather than having a magic variable name like $this, however, I
would propose having a magic function - I called it "recurse" in bug
description as I couldn't think of anything better, but perhaps
"iterate" or something similar might be more appropriate. The gist is
this:

1) It is only in-scope within function bodies (inline or no).
Referencing it elsewhere is a _static_ error.
2) Where available, it looks like a plain global function in the usual
namespace (http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions). This means that it
can be called with the usual syntax, but also turned into a function
item using #.
3) Where available, parameter types and return type exactly match
those of the function to which the innermost enclosing body belongs
(inline or no). Again, arity mismatch in a call is a _static_ error
(as it is for any normal function).

So, the original example would look as follows with this syntax:

    function($n as xs:integer) as xs:integer {
        if ($n < 3) then 1 else recurse($n-1) + recurse($n-2)
    }(10)


Thoughts?

Hi All,
Wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year 2010.

I nee your help regarding following issue:

I have an xml of the form
<doc>
      <p>(a)- first level </p>
    <p>(1)- second level</p>
    <p>(2)- second level</p>
    <p>(A)- third level</p>
    <p>(B)- third level</p>
    <p>(3)- second level</p>
    <p>(b)- first level</p>
</doc>

A change in the designator(Designators may be in alpha, numeric, roman,
alpha-numeric,
etc bounded or unbounded by brackets) format must be used as basis for
identifying the primary level.
Designators in sequence or series must be treated as primary level text of
the same level. For example:
(a)-first level
(b)-first level
(c)-first level

I have to create the following output xml out of the above input xml:

<doc>
      <parent>
       <title>(a)- first level </title>
       <child><title>(1)- second level</title></child>
       <child>
        <title>(2)- second level</title>
        <child><title>(A)- third level</title></child>
        <child><title>(B)- third level</title></child>
       </child>
      <child><title>(3)- second level</title></child>
    </parent>
    <parent><title>(b)- first level</title></parent>

</doc>

Pleae advise, how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Hm. Consider the input:
   <doc>
     <p>(a)- ..</p>
     <p>(b)- ..</p>
     <p>(c)- ..</p>
     <p>(d)- ..</p>
     <p>(e)- ..</p>
     <p>(f)- ..</p>
     <p>(g)- ..</p>
     <p>(h)- ..</p>
     <p>(i)- ..</p>
   </doc>
In the last <p>, how are you supposed to know whether the "i" is alpha 
(and thus first level) or roman (and thus second level)?

And when designators are alpha-numeric, what constitutes a "change in 
format"? (What defines "designators in sequence"?)

ok, first one is very good question. I didn't think about it. Thanks for
your observation.
For the time being we will leave it.

Let's come to your second question, if designators are alpha-numeric then
change in format may be like only numeric or only alpha.

Your third question: designators in sequence means a,b,c .. or A,B,C.. or
1,2,3.. etc.

It's not going to be easy and I'm not going to try and write the code for
you, but here's an approach.
 
You need to do a recursive walk through the siblings. On each step, pass the
current "full hierarchic section number" as a sequence, for example ("a",
"2", "B"). If the "designator" of the next element is the successor of the
last item in this sequence, or if it is the start of a new (nested)
sequence, then you can construct the next section number and continue the
recursion. If the next designator is the successor of an item in the
hierarchic section number other than the last, then you can exit one level
of recursion and try again.

I've implemented this so you can use regular expressions to determine 
the level indications.

You don't share with us what you have tried and what has not worked for you.

I have a complete solution below.  I found it easier to think first 
in XSLT because of the grouping facilities that are available, and 
then to just transliterate that into XQuery for a pure-XQuery solution.

Note that readers may find it interesting to have to do the following 
in XQuery:

   (<tree>{elements-expression}</tree>)/*

... in order to create a sibling relationship between a copy of nodes 
so that the recursive use of the following-sibling axis would not 
access the original nodes.  Simply referencing the nodes isn't 
sufficient because the nodes retain their original location in the 
original tree.

I hope this helps.

Hi Jesus,

Messages like these are typically observed when your parser thinks it is receiving a UTF-8 encoded document, while it is actually something else. Does your xml contain an XML declaration containing the correct encoding? Or are you setting the wrong encoding programmatically perhaps?

Kind regards,
Geert

You usually get that when you parse latin1 or cp1252 (or other) as UTF8.

Either:

a) correct the encoding in the xml prolog (or add a prolog with the
correct encoding)

or

b) convert the XML to UTF-8.  (you could do that using a tool like Notepad++)

There are plenty of ways of changing the way Saxon reports error messages -
if you want help on this, please use the Saxon help list.  However, there is
no way of avoiding the error: if your input is not well-formed XML, Saxon
will not process it.

Your input has

1 Room for Manoeuvre

and you want the output to be

1 Room for Manoeuvre and the Paradox of Globalization

That could be tricky.

Apart from that kind of detail, which I'm sure is just carelessness in your
posting, it's hard to see exactly what your problem is. If you explain why
you are finding this difficult, then it might be easier to help you.

Hi,

Sorry. It was typo error. I want transform from one xml to another xml
format. I have analyzed and noticeed some doubts here.

1. delete <Pagenum> and  <Tocauthor>
2. <navpoint ID> value should be come based on the Title Text.
Example. Cover -- id="cover", chapter text should come <.. id="ch01">
(Look the <navpoint> Tag and <Content..>
3. <Content Tag.

Its very had to write. Please look deeply my input and output.

Thanks
Byomokesh

Message-ID: <d6264dcf1001101332g3c845a8bm48665fd71bf2f7b8@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

we are glad to announce the release of BaseX 6.0. It offers a bunch of
new features, such as:

- a full implementation of XQuery Update, reaching 100% in the W3C Test Suite.
- an enhanced client/server architecture with ACID-safe transactions,
user and password management and transaction logging.
- extended XQuery Full Text features, supporting TF/IDF scoring, stop
word lists, fuzzy querying, etc.
- the improved creation of index structures, using constant memory.
- optimizations to increase the use of index structures and iterative
query processing.

BaseX is open-source. It is developed by the DBIS Group at University
of Konstanz. Please find more information at http://basex.org/

All the best,

Christian Gr?n
BaseX Team

my xml, ouput and xqy file. I have tried but i could not find how i
will delete <page> and create ID attribute as it as a same content.
(eg. Forward for forward, content for conent).

XML
====
<p><entry><text>Foreword<page>v</page></text><author>Fen</author></entry></p>

Output
=====

<para id="foreword">Foreword</para>

my xqy
======

let $ad := doc("file:///d:/Byomokesh/PubXML/xquery/sample.xml")
let $ad2 := $ad//text
for $r  in $ad2
return
<s>{data($r)}</s>


Thanks

Perhaps you want something like

let $ad := doc("file:///d:/Byomokesh/PubXML/xquery/sample.xml")
for $r in $ad//text
return <para id="{lower-case($r)}">{data($r)}</para>

Ah, I see. Simplest solution is

let $ad := doc("file:///d:/Byomokesh/PubXML/xquery/sample.xml")
for $r in $ad//text
return <para id="{lower-case($r/text())}">{$r/text()}</para>

but that's not very robust if there's extra whitespace or comments in the
source: slightly safer is to replace $r/text() in both places by
string-join($r/text(), '') to allow for the possibility of multiple text
nodes.

Back in August, the XML Query Working Group announced the availability of 
version 1.0.0 of the XQuery Update Facility Test Suite [1]. This test 
suite reflects the XQuery Update Facility 1.0 Candidate Recommendation [2] 
that was published on June 9. 

We are pleased to have received results for BaseX, MXQuery, Saxon-EE, xDB, 
and Zorba [3]. We are still looking for implementations that support the 
Update Facility Static Typing Feature and implementations that support 
XQueryX. We'd like to encourage implementors of these features to submit 
their results to us, so that we can advance XQuery Update Facility to W3C 
Recommendation.

Hi Ken,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I think your approach and code might help me in
implementing the same for my requirement which is somewhat complex than the
sample i had explained in the mail.

Subject: [xquery-talk] trying to search in one document with an element
	pulled in as a variable from another document
Message-ID: <5B15E7518B0341E19454B9B9117999DE@sdigovsolutions.com>

Hello,

I would appreciate any help with the following problem.

Situation: An XML document may contain any number of boilerplates dependent
on various factors. These boilerplates will be located within certain
elements, depending on the type of boilerplate being used. Often, if said
element is used, it must have a certain boilerplate associated with it.

Goal: To create a report for technical writers that will search their XML
and report to them which boilerplates are missing.

Methodology: In an attempt to avoid hard coding each situation, the idea is
to pull in information from one document and use it to determine which
elements to search in the other document.

Here is the relevant section of the file [list.gent] containing the
information that will be used to search the other file
************************************************
<list>
  <required_boilerplates>
	<boilerplate>
		<name>warranty information</name>
		<location_in_TM>wrntyref</location_in_TM>
		<string_search>The warranty starts on the date found in
block 23 of DA Form 2408-9, Equipment Control Record.</string_search>
	
<location_of_bp>C:\svn_sdi_skeleton_creator\BOILERPLATES\GIM\ginfowp\warrant
y_ information.gent</location_of_bp>
		<reason>Required by Standard</reason>
	</boilerplate>
  </required_boilerplates>
</list>
************************************************

The relevant section of the xquery is as follows. An explanation will
follow. Note: $production in //production does not require a doc function as
it pulls in the correct document from a java program. [Or rather the java
program pulls in the xquery and supplies the document for it.]
************************************************
<h3>Required boilerplates</h3>
		<p>The following boilerplates are required, but are
missing.</p>
		<table border = "1">
			<tr>
				<td>boilerplate name</td>
				<td>reason</td>
				<td>location</td>
				<td>wpno</td>
				<td>xpath</td>
				
			</tr>
{
		for $production in //production,
			$search-for in doc("list.gent")//boilerplate
			
		let $searchtag := $search-for/location_in_TM
		let $tagname := //production//$searchtag
			
		return(
		
		for $elementsearch in //$tagname
		
		where not(contains(data($elementsearch),
data($search-for/string_search)))
		 
		return  
					<tr>{
	
<td>{$search-for/location_in_TM}</td>, (:don't forget comma or error result
:)
	
<td>{data($search-for/reason)}</td>,
	
<td>{data($search-for/location_of_bp)}</td>,
	
<td>{data($elementsearch/ancestor::*/@wpno)}</td>,
	
<td>{$elementsearch/string-join(ancestor-or-self::* /f:name-and-position(.),
'/')}</td>
					}</tr>
		
 
)

}
		</table>
************************************************

Explanation: I apologize if anything above is a bit of a mess. I'm still new
to xquery and probably not writing the code in the most efficient method.

1. for $production in //production,
			$search-for in doc("list.gent")//boilerplate
This section is meant to search through both documents. The writer's xml
itself is too large to include here. I believe the only relevant information
is that production is the root element. From the list.gent "wrntyref" is the
element that will be searched for in the XML. Wrntyref is an optional
descendant of production. It has a set xpath from production, but that xpath
is irrelevant as the goal is to use any element taken from
list/location_in_TM and process it against the XML being used by the
writers.

2. let $searchtag := $search-for/location_in_TM is to get the value from
location_in_TM from list.gent and place it in a variable.

3. let $tagname := //production//$searchtag is my attempt to create an xpath
using the root of the writer's xml and the variable $searchtag.

4. The second FWR within the first Return was the only way I could guess to
process each occurrence of the value taken in location_in_TM [and stored in
$searchtag] and process it for each occurrence in the writer's xml.

****

Result: The following output was achieved.
************************************************
boilerplate name 	reason 			location

wrntyref  		Required by Standard
C:\svn_sdi_skeleton_creator\BOILERPLATES\GIM\ginfowp\warranty_
information.gent 
[following is a continuation of first line]
wpno 		xpath
	
list[1]/required_boilerplates[1]/boilerplate[1]/location_in_TM[1]
************************************************
The xpath is derived from the following function

declare function f:name-and-position($n as element()) as xs:string {
  concat(name($n), '[', 1+count($n/preceding-sibling::*[node-name(.) =
node-name($n)]), ']')
};

The function works correctly as proven in use elsewhere, but the xpath shown
is incorrect. It is pointing to the list.gent file instead of the writer's
XML. Since $elementsearch is also used in the where statement, this means
the same problem is also occurring there.

****

Questions:
1. How do I write the xquery so that $elementsearch is pointing to the
correct [the writer's] XML?
2. Is there a better method I should be looking at instead?

Thanks for your time and help.

Thank you,
?

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to achieve here, but
//foo//$bar does certainly not work. If you want to look for elements
that have a name which you don't know statically (i.e. it's in a
variable), you should write:

let $searchtag := $search-for/location_in_TM
let $tags := //production//*[name(.) = $searchtag] (: or node-name(.)
if you use namespaces :)

Basically you use a predicate on any node, and within that you check
for the name of the current context node (name(.)) to equal whatever
you are looking for. You can also compare against multiple names (i.e.
$searchtags) at the same time, that might help with performance.

I'm guessing what you want is

for $element in //*[name(.) = $searchtag]

I don't quite understand what you are trying to achieve with $tagname,
this appears redundant.

Martin

Hi Martin,

Thank you very much for the help. The solution worked.

[Also, $tagname was redundant, as you pointed out.]

Thank you,

Subject: [xquery-talk] declaring a variable of an imported schema type
Message-ID: <A0D3A8FB-8BB4-4F7C-802D-7C47CFDA5BC4@deri.org>

Hello all, 

I'm trying to declare a variable to be of a type that is imported from an XML schema definition. 

So far what I've been doing is something like:

let $var := validate { element {$type} { $value } } ...

and it works although is a bit cumbersome. 
Is there an easier way to do this, ie, without using the validate {} ?

Thanks,

The validate{} expression will take untyped data, validate it against the
schema, and return typed data.

If your data has already been validated, you don't need to do this, you only
need to declare its type. Typically this is done using the "as" clause. For
example

let $invoice as schema-element(my:invoice) := doc('invoice.xml')/*
return ...

This will fail if doc() doesn't do the validation; how you control whether
or not doc() does validation is processor-specific, and will often involve
some kind of configuration options. In Saxon, for example, when you set
-val:strict on the command line, all input documents will be validated. (In
Altova, I believe validation happens if and only if there is an
xsi:schemaLocation attribute within the document itself.)

In this case I would like to create a new element of that type, ie, one that is not read from the input file, so I guess the validation is required. 

Thank you for the reply.

Hello XQuery lovers!

The first Zurich XQuery Meetup will be held in a prestigious location
in the heart of the city, ETH Dozentenfoyer, March 11th 2010. More
details at http://xquery.pbworks.com/Zurich-Meetup.
Registration is done on the wiki.
The meetup is just before XML Prague (March 13th and 14th) so feel
free to stop by Zurich if you are on your way to Prague ;-)

Saxon questions are best asked on the saxon-help list.

And with any question, it's best to say what you were trying to achieve, and
what you did, and how it failed.

The error message means that your query does something that's allowed in
XQuery 1.1 but not in 1.0, but you didn't say you wanted to use XQuery 1.1.
You need to have version 1.1 specified in the version declaration in the
query prolog, and to request XQuery 1.1 processing on the command line or
via the API.

This is a bit of an odd message.

You stood in a field, burned the finest cedar-wood,
sacrificed five pigeons and called Saxon! in a loud
voice, and the XQuery 1.1 specification did not suddenly
get published as a W3C Recommendation as a result?

To be less flippant, XQuery 1.1 does not yet exists -- there is
a draft, but no actual final language.  Saxon PE 9.2, acording
to Mike Kay's web page [1] does have some XQuery 1.1 features,
and if you are using those you need to check your support contract
(since Saxon PE is a commercial product).

Indeed, the reason that Saxon makes you jump through several hoops before
you can use XQuery 1.1 features is to ensure that you don't do it without
thinking twice about it: the specification may change, the product may
change, and your queries may stop working.

i just want to learn about new XQuery 1.1 features - i got this
message from trial version of OxygenXML but did not find something for
XQuery 1.1 in Options...

BTW i start to learn XSLT 1.0 from draft too in previous millenium -
do you remenber "sort" in draft was as attribute (not as xsl:sort
element)? ;)

so i think it ok if something will change - i am metaprogramming fan
so syntax changes not problem at all for me

for me main problem when nothing changes - at this "stalled" time i
think about death as "act of creation"

for now i have not money nor for OxygenXML nor for SaxonEE - what
about possibility to get license "on trust"?

Oxygen enables Saxon-EE features, so you should be able to use this.

I haven't actually got the latest version of Oxygen installed, so I can't
point you to the right buttons to press. I suggest you ask them for advice.
They are always very ready to help.

It does help to say what you are doing when you raise a question on a forum.
If you had said you were using Oxygen, we could have wasted less time.

oXygen does not enable the XQuery 1.1 support of Saxon EE. We will add 
this as an option in the next release, in a couple of months.

Simple problem. I want an XQuery  function that turns an English month
name string such  "February" into the equivalent number such as 2.

Is there any prettier way to do this than if-then-else nested 12
levels deep? E.g. a switch statement or a map or some such?

Others have suggested strings and index-of. An alternative, more
xml-oriented, version  would be

<x><January/><February/><March/><April/>...</x>/February/count(preceding-sibling::*)+1


or to avoid the possibly linear sibling count, 

<x><January n="1"/><February n="2"/><March n="3"/><April n="4"/>...</x>/February/number(@n)

These all look good. What if we generalize the problem? Given an
ordered list of N values (not necessarily strings) map each one to
another value (not necessarily a number).

I suppose you could use two elements. E.g.

<keys><January/><February/><March/><April/>...</keys>
<values><foo/><bar/><baz/><foo/>...</values>

Then use the position of the key to select the right value.

This solution gets a little more tedious if the month name comes as data 
instead of hard-coded in the xquery.
E,g you have to do something like

    let $months := <x><Janurary/> ... </x>,
         $month := "March" (: or some extracted value :)
   return  $months/*[node-name(.) eq $month]/count(preceding-sibling::*)+1

This is why I wouldn't put key values as element names.  It also limits you 
to valid element names.
I would use attributes or values as key values.

When I start getting complicated maps I generate a xml structure like this
<map>
   <entry key="key">Value</entry>
...
</map>

This gives you atomic types for keys and (almost) any xdm value value for 
the value.


Having keys be non-strings or numbers gets a bit trickier and difficult to 
generalize.
You have to start defining what equality is in something like
     <entry>
       <key><node>key value</node></key>
       <value><node>value</node></value>
    </entry>


Defining equality for <node> is generally not a generically answerable 
question.
Whereas using atomic values for keys is comparable universally with "eq"

index-of(...) would still be a valid solution as it can operate on a
sequence of any atomic type, not just strings -

The solutions we've seen have all more than likely been linear searches 
(an implementation could do better but I think it's unlikely). Using 
either XML structure (for string based keys/values), or the closure 
facilities of higher order functions (XQuery 1.1 WD, works with keys / 
values of any type), it is also possible to build binary search trees 
like a red/black tree. I don't know of any publicly available XQuery 
modules which implement that yet, but I've written one myself that uses 
XQuery 1.1 higher order functions.

so would I probably, but it wouldn't look as interesting in a mailing

yes definitely: that was probably the main point of my reply (but perhaps
obsured by the coding style I chose:-) that in xquery you can use xml
structure to  make more interesting mapping structures, you are not
restricted to integer indexed indexing into lists of strings.

Use an XML lookup table

<data>
  <item code="s" value="sugar"/>
  <item code="t" value="tea"/>
  ...
</data>

Saxon-EE will generally implement the lookup $data/item[@code=$c] by
building an index.

That was one reason I sugested switching to elements rather than string
sequences as (perhaps) it is more likely that they get indexed (in xslt
you could force indexing with xsl:key) but I didn't mention that as it's
not clear which processeors would index what, especially if the actual
data only has length 12.

into this

<blockquote cite="foo"><div>
foo

</blockquote>

That is, I just want to add the div around the content, but preserve
everything else.

This is straight-forward in XSLT. Is it as hard in XQuery as it seems
to me? Or am I missing something obvious? What I need is an equivalent
of the xsl:copy function.

How about:

let $quote :=
<blockquote cite="foo">
foo
<p>bar</p>
other random text and elements
</blockquote>
return
    <blockquote>{$quote/@*}<div>{$quote/node()}</div></blockquote>

If you need to apply several transformations like this, using a
recursive function might work best:

declare function local:filter($node as node()) {
    typeswitch ($node)
        case element(blockquote) return
            <blockquote>{$node/@*}<div>{$node/node()}</div></blockquote>
        case element() return
            element { node-name($node) } { for $child in $node/node()
return local:transform($child) }
        default return
            $node
};

Hello Elliotte,

you might find my article on Advanced XQuery useful

there isn't xsl;copy but there is xsl:element name="{name()}" which is 
more or less the same thing.

let $s :=
<blockquote cite="foo">

stuff <br/> more
</blockquote>
return

element {node-name($s)} {$s/@*,<div>{$s/node()}</div>}

XQuery appears to lacking a format-date() function... for example to
get "21st Jan 2010" I would use:

format-date(xs:date('2010-01-21'), '[D1o] [MNn,*-3] [Y0001]')

Do I need to do that manually in XQuery?

In XQuery 1.1, this function does exist:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-11/#formatting-dates-and-times

In XQuery 1.0, you do have to do it yourself.

"XQuery 1.1 MUST include additional library functions or an equivalent
mechanism to perform formatting of date and time values."

:) that's pretty much how I feel about it....

In the meantime you could use a concatenation of these functions -
http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/xq/c0002.html

...Or depending on the XQuery Engine Implementation that you are
using, they may provide an extension function, eXist-db provides the
datetime: extension namespace for such functions and I believe that
MarkLogic also offer something.

Hi,

A couple of weeks ago we started a wiki at http://xquery.pbworks.com
in order to help XQuery enthusiasts from the same area to gather
around a snack and a beer.
Our aim is to promote knowledge sharing and best practice amongst
XQuery developers and business professionals around the world by
organizing local meetups.

Are you interested in organizing a meetup in your area?
The wiki contains some guidelines and tips of organizing such event.
Keep it small and informal, it's actually not much work and a lot of fun :-)

Best regards,

William

Message-ID: <961274971001251212g5b68cde9n60ada24d3f9153d@mail.gmail.com>

Hiya,

I want to do something (fairly inefficient) like:

let $
let $elementOfInterest := collection(/db/files)//tei:*[@xml:id=$elementID]
(...)
let $previousElementID :=
data($elementOfInterest/preceding::tei:ab[@type='foo'][1]/@xml:id)
let $followingElementID :=
data($elementOfInterest/following::tei:ab[@type='foo'][1]/@xml:id)

but my problem is that preceding:: and following:: seem to stop at the
document boundary rather than the collection as a whole.  So, when I
get to the first element of any document it doesn't find the next
element as being the last one in the preceding file.

I realise I'm probably missing something simple here.

Thanks for any help,

-James

Yes, the code you've written doesn't solve the problem, for the reasons you
have discovered.

Perhaps you could describe the problem: it's not easy to reverse-engineer it
from code that doesn't work.

Hi Mike,

In this case I have 48 years worth of transcribed historical diary,
with each day/month/year being one of the objects I want to find the
previous/next node for.  The query gets a parameter in YYYY-MM-DD,
YYYY-MM or YYYY format and returns the appropriate year, month or day
from the correct file because this parameter value makes up part of
the @xml:id.  In each instance I want to provide prevYear/nextYear,
prevMonth/nextMonth, prevDay/nextDay navigational links regardless of
the fact that I'm sitting on 1798-01-01 and the 1797-12-31 (if it
exists) is in the previous file.

One straightforward solution is of course to generate a skeleton of
the entire collection:

<collection>
<year xml:id="diary1797">
 ....
<month xml:id="diary1797-12">
...
<day xml:id="diary1797-12-31/>
</month>
</year>
<year xml:id="diary1798">
 <month xml:id="diary1798-01">
  <day xml:id="diary1798-01-01"/>
...
</month>
</year>
</collection>

and use that as a lookup table...as then preceding::day[1]  (or month
or year) from the current id's location in that file would work and
give me just what I need.  However, that seemed like a terribly kludgy
workaround. (There are only 48 years of the diary...so that would be
some 18K elements....but all this makes me think I'm missing a much
easier way!)

Since my XQuery knowledge still is at a basic level I'm happy for any
suggestions you might have.

	1.0.1
Message-ID: <7.0.1.0.2.20100125175631.05df4fc0@oracle.com>

The W3C's XML Query Working Group and XSL Working Group are pleased 
to announce the availability of version 1.0.1 of the XQuery and XPath 
Full Text Test Suite (XQFTTS) at 
http://dev.w3.org/2007/xpath-full-text-10-test-suite/.  The tests 
suite contains information about how to run the test suite and how to 
submit the results (anonymously, if you desire).

XQFTTS 1.0.1 fixes a number of bugs reported against XQFTTS 1.0.0 and 
it reflects a small number of CR issues that have been resolved by 
the WGs. We encourage implementors who have sent us reports for 
XQFTTS 1.0.0 to run XQFTTS 1.0.1 and send us their final reports. 
Implementors who have not yet run the XQFTTS at all are strongly 
encouraged to run XQFTTF 1.0.1 and submit their implementation 
reports.  The reports that we have received provide a significant 
amount of the implementation experience that we need to request a 
transition to Proposed Recommendation. We would especially appreciate 
a report showing an implementation of Minimal Conformance using the 
XQueryX syntax.

We will continue to maintain and enhance the test suite after our 
transition to Proposed Recommendation. We do not expect to send out 
any further announcements about our test suite -- any news or updates 
will be posted on our web page.

Thanks!
    Jim

  I didn't look in the details, but my first reaction to such a
problem would be to separate the navigation within the data on
the one hand and the formatting of them on the other hand.

  So in this case, I would first write a set of functions that
extract the correct data from the correct documents and walk
through them in the correct order.  At the place where each
subset of data has to be transformed during this navigation, you
call then a second set of functions, which handle the formatting

I added a Map to the Wiki, the aim is that people can add themselves
to it so when organising a meetup you can easily see who is nearby and
my be interested. Perhaps people would like to add themselves to it?

Does anyone have an XQuery implementation of Markdown or equivalent
handy? I need something that will turn basic text into XHTML.

I have a flat file that I am running thru Stylus Studio. Stylus Studio
takes the flat file and converts it to XML and then runs it thru an
xQuery.  

 

Every time I need to process this I need to open stylus studio and press
the run button.  Is there a script I can run to run the xQuery so I can
automate this process?

 

Thanks

Message-ID: <964945.78705.qm@web27107.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>

Dear People,

presently I am scribbling away at a little XQuery?framework into which one may plug user-supplied queries, which pulls them into a particular larger processing model, using them as combinable building blocks. Suddenly my pen hovers in mid-air, I raise my head and, listening to the snowflakes rustling in the hedge, I wonder: probably some XQuery?frameworks already exist, and we XQuery developers might really profit from being aware of them, so that, pushing the argument to its?extreme, everytime we write a query we might immediately consider plugging it into this or that framework, to enhance its usefulness.

So my *question*: would anybody like to point to some XQuery?framework into which one may plug queries in order to harvest added value,?perhaps hinting at the kind of advantage one obtains?

With kind regards,
Hans-Juergen Rennau


PS: Before closing, one word about XProc. I would not regard the language itself?as such a framework, rather as a toolkit for creating such frameworks, implementing them perhaps as a set of?XProc documents.

u prob know about these libraries

http://www.exquery.org

http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/xq/

and then there is

http://code.google.com/p/xqmvc/

I am also creating a generic XQuery version (for use in eXist) that
kind of emulates xqmvc ... will release at some point soon.

  Just to add to responses sent by Jim and Dennis, I'd like to
say it depends what you mean by "framework".  The definition of
this term is quite vague, and even when you have one definition,
it depends on what aspects to solve you are looking for after
frameworks.

  If you are looking for a way to evaluate queries on a server in
response to an HTTP request (well known as XQuery webapps), then
Sausalito is worth investigating.  Almost all XML databases like
MarkLogic and eXist do also provide some way to plug queries into
their HTTP server.

  The drawback with this approach is that those solutions are all
dependent on the processor and/or the chosen framework.  As part
of EXPath, I'm trying to define a first version of a servlet-like
specification, that will be implementation-independent.  Its
success will depend on which extent implementors will adopt it.

  But I do not think this is really a framework.  This is more a
low-level technical piece to help developing larger frameworks in
a processor-independent way.  Sausalito for instance would be a
good example: if it was based on such a spec for its mapping
between HTTP and XQuery, it would be (for that part at least)
independent on the underlying processor.

  Any way, if you are interested by those matters, do not miss
the XML Prague 2010 conferences <http://xmlprague.cz/> :-)

As George said, the term "framework" is a bit vague.

This might be of interest, although I'm not sure it is
much used or maintained:

You might be able to do it by simply defining a sequence containing
(references to) the relevant nodes, rather than a newly constructed tree.
But I don't think there's a simple solution you're missing.

Florent, James, Dennis,

cordial thanks for your facts and comments! Trying to?evaluate them. let me first?indeed define?the term "framework" for the purpose?of this discussion. Taking as a starting point an isolated XQuery module, a *framework* is a machinery enabling a more complex processing than provided by the XQuery module itself, thus?controlling and in some way embedding the query execution within?a larger processing model. So if we assume a query defines a processing P, the framework would provide for a composite processing, say, X-P-Y. A typical example is a web application, where the query execution is preceded by request evaluation and followed by response dispatchal..

Adopting this definition, I think that the following links relate to libraries, but not to frameworks:

http://www.expath.org
http://www.exquery.org
http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/xq/

And the servlet-like specification Florent spoke of would appear as a standard whose implementation would result in a framework.

The remaining links:
http://sausalito.28msec.com
http://code.google.com/p/xqmvc/

definitely refer to frameworks, and both are dedicated to creating web applications, in one case "in general", in the other obeying the MVC pattern. Finally, as Florent?pointed out, XML database implementations?usually contain such a framework, too.

This is an?interesting first result: frameworks for creating web applications exist, and they are impressive,?indeed! Frameworks for other purposes have not yet been mentioned.

Thank you again, with kind regards,
Hans-Juergen

A few years ago when I did http://www.fromoldbooks.org/Search/
using XQuery, I wrote my own.  It's far from perfect -- it
is a perl script that checks the system load average (!), and
the query parameters, and then reads an xml config file, and
calls up an external xquery engine based on a variable -- so I
could easily switch between galax, qizx and saxon, initially,
and later dbxml too.  It keeps a cache, to avoid firing up
a JVM (two of those implementations are in Java) with each
incoming HTTP request, and does get fairly high cache hit rates.

It'd be a reasonable question, "why not use servlets", and
a lot of the answer to that is that, when I wrote it, Sun's
licence for Java was such that Linux distributions couldn't
easily include it, and Java was a sufficient pain to set up that
I avoided any architecture that depended on it.  But then I
started using Saxon, and, later qizx, both of which do use Java.

More recently I've used dbxml, but not on the production system,
as the packaging for dbxml is even weirder than for Java, and
my server has changed operating systems several times over the years.

All this is a long winded way of saying, a lot of it depends on
the environment.  I'm particularly interested (since I work at W3C...)
in what we could do to extend standardisation "beyond the query" into
more of a framework, and how, and what would be the value of that, but
I think the XQuery Working Group right now does not have the
resources to do that sort of work.
