Virtual eXist-db: Liberating Hierarchical Queries from the Shackles of Access Path Dependence
Summary: Virtual eXist-db liberates XQuery from fixed hierarchical access paths by enabling plug-and-play queries over arbitrary hierarchies. A virtualDoc mechanism lets programmers specify the needed hierarchy; data are logically transformed to that target with information-loss guarantees, and a GUI tool supports building virtual hierarchies.
