Xcerpt and visXcerpt: From Pattern-Based to Visual Querying of XML and Semistructured Data

Summary: Demonstrates Xcerpt, a pattern-based language for querying and transforming XML/semistructured data, with pattern binding, document construction, and rule-based structuring. Introduces visXcerpt, a visual counterpart exploiting patterns for readable, modular query specification. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
