QURSED: Querying and Reporting Semistructured Data

Summary: QURSED enables web-based QFRs over semistructured XML by encoding queries as a param-set and synthesizing XQuery fragments at runtime. Editor semi-automates spec construction from visual actions, tying the model to the UI and nesting variance. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
