The purpose of this week’s mind bogglin’ xml session will be our first encounter with XQuery.
We can start with few valuable links to XQuery resources we are going to use:

1. An example interface running XQueries on a real database – here
2. A tutorial on XQuery from some Stylus Studio promoters, but it’s rather good – here
3. Another XQuery tutorial from the W3Schools – here
4. A reference of XPath expression functions we might use some day or right now

And here is the actual W3C specification of XQuery

Some links that are of interest for the course.

An xsl overview on slides – here

Zvon xml namespace tutorial – here

Zvon XML Schema tutorial – here

Zvon xslt tutorial – here

We need to learn how:

1. To write XSD includes
2. Use multiple xml schema includes with different namespaces
3. Validate the content of our XML before doing the transformation.

4. Define the diference between XSLT with recursion and straith forward transformation
