On Wrapping Query Languages and Efficient XML Integration

Summary: Proposes a general-purpose algebra for semistructured/XML queries to enable efficient evaluation in XML-based integration. Demonstrates how the algebra, with type information, wraps OQL/SQL and enables new optimization techniques for XML-centric data integration. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
