XQuery is a query language specification developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that is designed to query collections of XML data or even files that have only some XML data.

It will take some time for the A/V industry to appreciate the value of this important new query language.

XPath and XQuery are the main query languages for XML document queries. XQuery is built on top of XPath expressions. They are based on the twig pattern query. XPath uses an axis to define a set of nodes relative to the current node, including the child axis ‘/’ (select all the child elements of the current node), descendant axis ‘//’ (select all descendant elements of the current node), and wildcards ‘*’ (matches any element node).
