Structural Characterizations of the Semantics of XPath as Navigation Tool on a Document
Summary: Provides per-document structural criteria for when node-pair relations (paths) and from-node result sets are expressible in XPath fragments with core navigational operators, distinguishing global (paths) vs local (from-node) semantics. Uses fragment-specific bisimulation plus a bootstrapping step to yield decidable definability tests. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
