Whenever there is a need to query XML data one either needs a text search tool or uses the recently established XQuery language that should retrieve results in a more efficient way ...
The XQuery Generator is a tool written in Java that enables the user to create XQueries based on a given XML Schema by defining selections and projections using a graphical user interface. Currently, the tool only support projection and selection operations. Extensions to include other aspects of XQuery, such as restructuring, ordering, aggregation and grouping, etc., are planned.
The XQuery Generator is implemented by Christoph Böhm in the context of research assistance. The interface is already in use in our HumMer tool, where it is used to specify object descriptions for duplicate detection.

4. Download (internal use only)
You can choose between:
- the complete distributioncontaining the JAR file, the required qizXOpen XQuery engine and the XSOM jar plus relaxng datatypes (sample data and a quick start manual is included)
- the JAR file only. In this case you need to download the qizXOpen XQuery engine and the XSOM jar plus relaxng datatypes libraries as well and add it to your classpath.
