What do those weird XML types want, anyway?
Summary: XML data fuses DB-like structure with text: deep hierarchies, arbitrary order, repetition, and many atomic types with complex aggregates. The paper shows 'semi-structured' is inadequate, exposing order sensitivity, recursive partitions, and weak typing, with consequences for information management and retrieval.
