Abstract / Description of output
Three decades past, the relational empire conquered
the hierarchical hegemony. Today,
an upstart challenges the relational empire’s
dominance, threatening the return of hierarchy.
XML is Lisp’s bastard nephew, with
uglier syntax and no semantics. Yet XML
is poised to enable the creation of a web of
data that dwarfs anything since the Library
at Alexandria. This talk examines the design
of XQuery, the W3C standard query language
for XML, and looks at related phenomena
such as XML Schema and the Semantic
Web.
