  • Xquery in IBM DB2 10 for Z/OS
    ® XQuery in IBM DB2 10 for z/OS Introduction In November 2011, support was added for XQuery in IBM® DB2® 10 for z/OS® through APARs PM47617 and PM47618. XQuery extends XPath with new language constructs, adding expressiveness to the IBM pureXML® features of DB2. Many XQuery queries can be rewritten using a combination of XPath and SQL/XML, but often XQuery is the preferred tool, as it is an easier to code and more readable alternative. Like XPath, XQuery is a W3C standard, and its addition is a further step in ensuring compatibility within the DB2 family of products. XQuery has been available in DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows since 2006. Constructs of XQuery XQuery introduces new types of expressions that can be used in XMLQUERY, XMLTABLE, and XMLEXISTS function calls. The XMLQUERY function is used in the SELECT clause of an SQL query to specify which XML data to retrieve. The XMLTABLE function is used in the FROM clause to extract XML data in a table format. The XMLEXISTS function is used in the WHERE clause to specify under which conditions to retrieve the data. XQuery expressions are most applicable with XMLQUERY, because arguments to XMLEXISTS can be specified by XPath expressions, which are indexable, while XQuery expressions are not. XMLQUERY is not indexable. XQuery can be used in XMLTABLE as the row expression or column expressions, but is usually not needed for the relational result. XQuery could be used to construct new XML values for the XML column results. There are three types of expressions that can be used alone or in combination: FLWOR expressions A FLWOR expression is a loop construct for manipulating XML documents in an application-like manner.

    RDFa in XHTML: Syntax and Processing RDFa in XHTML: Syntax and Processing RDFa in XHTML: Syntax and Processing A collection of attributes and processing rules for extending XHTML to support RDF W3C Recommendation 14 October 2008 This version: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-rdfa-syntax-20081014 Latest version: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-syntax Previous version: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/PR-rdfa-syntax-20080904 Diff from previous version: rdfa-syntax-diff.html Editors: Ben Adida, Creative Commons [email protected] Mark Birbeck, webBackplane [email protected] Shane McCarron, Applied Testing and Technology, Inc.

W3C liability, trademark and document use rules apply. Abstract The current Web is primarily made up of an enormous number of documents that have been created using HTML. These documents contain significant amounts of structured data, which is largely unavailable to tools and applications. When publishers can express this data more completely, and when tools can read it, a new world of user functionality becomes available, letting users transfer structured data between applications and web sites, and allowing browsing applications to improve the user experience: an event on a web page can be directly imported - 1 - How to Read this Document RDFa in XHTML: Syntax and Processing into a user’s desktop calendar; a license on a document can be detected so that users can be informed of their rights automatically; a photo’s creator, camera setting information, resolution, location and topic can be published as easily as the original photo itself, enabling structured search and sharing.

  • RDF/XML: RDF Data on the Web
    Developing Ontologies • have an idea of the required concepts and relationships (ER, UML, ...), • generate a (draft) n3 or RDF/XML instance, • write a separate file for the metadata, • load it into Jena with activating a reasoner. • If the reasoner complains about an inconsistent ontology, check the metadata file alone. If this is consistent, and it complains only when also data is loaded: – it may be due to populating a class whose definition is inconsistent and that thus must be empty. – often it is due to wrong datatypes. Recall that datatype specification is not interpreted as a constraint (that is violated for a given value), but as additional knowledge. 220 Chapter 6 RDF/XML: RDF Data on the Web • An XML representation of RDF data for providing RDF data on the Web could be done straightforwardly as a “holds” relation mapped according to SQLX (see ⇒ next slide). • would be highly redundant and very different from an XML representation of the same data • search for a more similar way: leads to “striped XML/RDF” – data feels like XML: can be queried by XPath/Query and transformed by XSLT – can be parsed into an RDF graph. • usually: provide RDF/XML data to an agreed RDFS/OWL ontology. 221 A STRAIGHTFORWARD XML REPRESENTATION OF RDF DATA Note: this is not RDF/XML, but just some possible representation. • RDF data are triples, • their components are either URIs or literals (of XML Schema datatypes), • straightforward XML markup in SQLX style, • since N3 has a term structure, it is easy to find an XML markup. <my-n3:rdf-graph xmlns:my-n3="http://simple-silly-rdf-xml.de#"> <my-n3:triple> <my-n3:subject type="uri">foo://bar/persons/john</my-n3:subject> <my-n3:predicate type="uri">foo://bar/meta#name</my-n3:predicate> <my-n3:object type="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">John</my-n3:object> </my-n3 triple> <my-n3:triple> ..

Centre-Ville Montréal, Québec Canada H3C 3J7 [email protected] http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~lapalme/ForestInsteadOfTheTrees/ Publication date April 14, 2019 Abstract This tutorial gives a high-level overview of the main principles underlying some XML technologies: DTD, XML Schema, RELAX NG, Schematron, XPath, XSL stylesheets, Formatting Objects, DOM, SAX and StAX models of processing. They are presented from the point of view of the computer scientist, without the hype too often associated with them. We do not give a detailed description but we focus on the relations between the main ideas of XML and other computer language technologies. A single compact pretty-print example is used throughout the text to illustrate the processing of an XML structure with XML technologies or with Java programs. We also show how to create an XML document by programming in Java, in Ruby, in Python, in PHP, in E4X (Ecmascript for XML) and in Swift. The source code of the example XML ®les and the programs are available either at the companion web site of this document or by clicking on the ®le name within brackets at the start of the caption of each example.

Abstract The OWL 2 Web Ontology Language, informally OWL 2, is an ontology language for the Semantic Web with formally defined meaning. OWL 2 ontologies provide classes, properties, individuals, and data values and are stored as Semantic Web documents. OWL 2 ontologies can be used along with information written in RDF, and OWL 2 ontologies themselves are primarily exchanged as RDF documents. The OWL 2 Document Overview describes the overall state of OWL 2, and should be read before other OWL 2 documents.
