Abstract:At the April 2002 CENDI Meeting, Ms. Case enumerated many of XML's expectations by users which include: stat-of-the-art tools for document composition; the ability to produce multiple displays from a single document; easier interchange of data and documents; the ability to search within elements; to search structured data and text; and to have a query language that supported a complete set of text search operators and functions. Ms. Case pointed out that there currently is no search engine to querying XML nor is there a standard for XML querying. Ms. Case is a member of the W3C Xquery working group and is a proponent of more advanced querying concepts. Her goal is to revive some of the sophisticated search functions for web-based searching. The Library of Congress has a keen interest in XML search capabilities but has pointed out that many key search functions are missing, e.g., thesaurus support, character normalization, stemming, stop word lists, and proximity searching.
