@inproceedings{abc,
	abstract = {In our community there are three main models for representing and processing data: Relations, XML and RDF. Each of these models has its "sweet spot" for applications and its own query language; very few implementations cater for more than one of these. We describe a uniform platform which provides interfaces for different query languages to retrieve and modify the same information or combine it with other data sources. This paper presents methods for completely and correctly translating SQL and SPARQL into XQuery since XQuery provides the most expressive foundation. Early results with our current prototype show that the translation from SPARQL to XQuery already achieves very competitive performance, whereas there is still a significant performance gap compared to SQL.},

@inproceedings{abc,
	abstract = {Over the years, the HTML-based Web has become a platform for providing
applications and dynamic pages that have little resemblance to the collection
of static documents it had been in the beginning. This was made possible by
the introduction of client-side programmable browsers. Because XML and
HTML are cousins, XML technologies can be almost readily adapted for clientside
programming. In the past, we suggested to do so with XQuery and implemented
it as a plugin. However, using a plugin was seen as an insurmountable
obstacle to a wider adoption of client-side XQuery.
In this paper, we present a version of XQuery in the Browser without any
plugin, needing only JavaScript to interpret XQuery code. This enables use
even on mobile devices, where plugins are not available. Even though our
current version is still considered to be at an alpha stage, we were able to deploy
it successfully on most major desktop and mobile browsers. The size of the JS
code is about 700KB. By activating compression on the web server (reducing
the transfered data to less than 200 KB) as well caching on the client using
the XQuery engine does not cause noticable overhead after the initial loading.},

@techreport{abc,
	abstract = {With sinking storage costs, it becomes more and more feasible, and popular, to
retain past versions of documents and data. While undoing changes is worthy,
this becomes even more valuable if the data is queryable. Nowadays, there are
two widespread version control paradigms: document versioning (SVN, git, etc.)
and versioned databases. The former handles any kind of document, even binary,
but only sees lines of text, so that the query capability is limited. The latter
provide fine-grained temporal query capabilities on highly structured data - but
storing everything in a relational database is not desirable. The goal of this
paper is to provide a unified framework for efficiently versioning, querying and
updating not only data and documents, but also, inbetween, any kind of
semi-structured information, like XML. We start with the XQuery programming
language and meticulously extend its data model, its syntax and its processing
model to make it seamlessly time-aware. We provide data structures and
algorithms for the efficient implementation of such a versioning system.
Finally, we show that there is no significant performance loss for traditional
queries when enriching an existing engine with versioning capabilities.},
