Rainbow: Mapping-Driven XQuery Processing System.
Summary: Rainbow maps XML to relational storage via a loading/extraction XQuery pair, enabling flexible XML-relational mappings. It pushes XQuery work into SQL via algebraic equivalence, handles order-sensitive processing, and propagates updates through extended XQuery/XAT for relational views.
