Expressiveness of Structured Document Query Languages Based on Attribute Grammars (extended abstract)

Summary: Treats structured documents as CFG derivation trees and models query languages via attribute grammars: BAGS (Boolean/propositional rules) captures exactly unary MSO-definable queries. RAGS (relation-valued/FO rules) capture FO inductions of linear depth — equivalently linear-time parallel computable — and strictly exceed MSO for higher-arity queries.
