Abstract / Description of output

This document proposes an algebra for XML Query. The algebra has been submitted to the W3C XML Query Working Group. A novel feature of the algebra is the use of regular-expression types, similar in power to DTDs or XML Schemas, and closely related to Hasoya and Pierce’s work on Xduce. The iteration construct is based on the notion of a monad, and involves novel typing rules not encountered elsewhere.
