Survey over Existing Query and Transformation Languages - Revision 2.0.
Abstract
A widely acknowledged obstacle for realizing the vision of the
Semantic Web is the inability of many current Semantic Web approaches to
cope with data available in such diverging representation formalisms as
XML, RDF, or Topic Maps. A common query language is the first step to allow
transparent access to data in any of these formats. To further the
understanding of the requirements and approaches proposed for query
languages in the conventional as well as the Semantic Web, this report
surveys a large number of query languages for accessing XML, RDF, or
Topic Maps. This is the first systematic survey to consider query languages
from all these areas. From the detailed survey of these query languages, a
common classication scheme is derived that is useful for understanding and
differentiating languages within and among all three areas. This revision of
deliverable I4-D1 extends that deliverable by a refined version of the
presented material that has been published as a chapter in the LNCS tutorial
volume for the REWERSE "ReasoningWeb" 2005 summer school as well as short
outlooks on further refinements of the material for upcoming tutorials and
summer school courses.
