XQuery and XPath Full Text 1.0 Use Cases

1 Full Text Use Cases: Preliminaries

1.1 Proper Display of this Unicode Document

(1) Use a current operating system and browser.

(2) If necessary, set the character encoding in the browser manually to Unicode or UTF-8. Often this setting may be changed from the View menu.

(3) If after setting the character encoding to Unicode, the Chinese characters in the subject elements of the sample data still do not display, it is likely that the browser cannot locate a font that contains Chinese characters in Unicode encoding. It might be necessary to add a Unicode font, preferably Arial Unicode MS.

1.2 Introduction

The use cases listed below were created by the XML Query Working Group and the XSL Working Group to illustrate important applications of full-text querying within an XML query language. Each use case exercises a specific functionality relevant to full-text querying. An XML Schema and sample input data are provided. Each use case specifies a query applied to the input data, a solution in XQuery, a solution in XPath (when possible), and the expected results.

The document supplements the XML Query Use Cases which can be found in the W3C XML Query Use Cases [XML Query Use Cases]. Use cases for character string querying are included in the XML Query Use Cases, not in this document.

These use cases:

(1) Present some possible functions and features for tokenized text support in XQuery and XPath.

(2) Illustrate simple and complex queries. The more complex queries would normally only be constructed by programmers, librarians, and other expert users. Sometimes they may be provided for novice users via saved queries and graphical user interfaces. Each query illustrates a single functionality. Queries may overlap in their functionalities (e.g., phrases and ordered distance queries allowing no intervening words). Overlapping and similar functionalities are noted in the comments on query behavior.

(3) Draw from sample data which are almost entirely in English. Use cases in other languages are solicited, especially where they illustrate language-specific implementations of functions and features. Among the most sought after are use cases for queries using prefix and infix wildcards, proximity queries, and operators and queries requiring functionality which may not have Western language equivalents.

(4) Include queries which in most instances can be written with pure Boolean full-text predicates or with scoring (e.g., scoring on the number of occurrences of a word or phrase, scoring on how close words are to one another within a distance query, scoring on how similar a word is to the one being stemmed) [BYR99] [HTK00]. A few, those in Section 17 (SCORE), cannot be written with Boolean full-text predicates. Scoring methodologies will not be defined in this recommendation. Scoring will be implementation-defined. Results are provided in document order, except those in Section 17 (SCORE). Results could be returned ordered differently, such as by relevance (based on implementation-defined scoring) or explicitly by element.

(5) Query element content. See Section 4 (OTHER) for explicit queries on attribute values.

(6) Include queries which are case insensitive. When returning a paragraph, the text is returned as it occurs in the data model. This approach was chosen to keep the sample data short and the expected results meaningful. It would have been equally valid to return only the words queried. A case-sensitive query is found in Section 9 (CHARACTER).

(7) Include queries which when they target XML elements are understood, unless otherwise stated, to query text within any text node descendant of the element.

(8) Include queries which return only elements and attributes which meet all the conditions specified in the query. In particular, pure Boolean full-text predicate queries return results where the Boolean conditions in the query are satisfied, i.e., are used to select what is being returned to users.

Query results may be returned in different ways. From a query for books containing the word "usability", users might be interested in returning, for each book containing the word "usability", its number and its entire content. In another situation for the same query, users might be interested in returning, for each book containing the word "usability", its number and only the elements and attributes in the content which contain the word "usability". As in this second situation, the queries in these use cases return only elements and attributes which meet all the conditions specified in the query.

The Return clause may also include additional or different elements and attributes if specified, and may construct new elements.

(9) Include queries which provide some of the basic functionality of fuzzy match querying (e.g., wildcards, stemming, thesaurus support, proximity).

(10) Provide highlighting of found words and phrases in the expected results of queries as an aid to users. The presence of highlighting says nothing about whether highlighting will be a feature of XQuery or XPath full-text querying.

(11) Display query solutions in XQuery and when possible in XPath. Queries that may not be written in XPath include those that contain element constructors and that cannot be written without let, where, and order by clauses.

Examples of full-text querying functionalities for XML query languages can be found in [FGR01], [HTK00], [MJK98], [SCH01] and [TWE00].

To make the output more readable, the output of queries has been formatted using whitespace which may not be returned by a query processor. This whitespace should not be considered normative for the correctness of results.

1.3 Presentation of Use Cases

The queries in these use cases are presented in the following format:

Query number Query title

User statement of query

Statement of functionality illustrated by query

Operands: Parts of words, words, phrases
Functionality: Operators, functions, collations, other functionality
Data context: One XPath expression locating the data being queried.
Query context: One or more XPath expressions locating the elements and attributes to be queried. The context of elements and attributes used in the Query context is relative to the Data context defined above.
Return: One or more XPath expressions which are returned only if the conditions specified in the query are met. Returned elements or attributes may differ from those specified in the Query context. Newly constructed elements might be returned. As in the Query context, the context of elements and attributes in Return statements is relative to the Data context defined above.
Comments: Comments on query behavior in general, and against the sample data in particular, plus the rationale for including this query in the use cases.

Solution in XQuery:

Solutions illustrating XQuery Full Text syntax  
appear here. All queries may be written in XQuery.

Solutions are written with pure Boolean full-text predicates 
and not to invoke scoring, except for those in Section 17 (SCORE), 
however all the queries in the document may be written as scored 
queries with the addition of a score variable.

All queries are written assuming the default function namespace, 
without the fn: prefix.

Solution in XPath:

Solutions illustrating XPath Full Text syntax appear 
(when the query may be written in XPath) here.

Solutions are written with pure Boolean full-text predicates 
and not to invoke scoring, except for those in Section 17 (SCORE), 
however most of the queries in the document may be written as 
scored queries with the addition of a score variable.

All queries are written assuming the default function namespace, 
without the fn: prefix.

Expected Result:

Results are provided here.
                                
Found words and phrases are highlighted. 
                                
For brevity, only the elements and attributes which meet 
the conditions specified in the query are displayed. Others are
replaced with ...s.

Results are provided in document order, except those 
in Section 17 (SCORE)

1.4 Schema for Sample Data

The example queries in these use cases are based on a collection with the following XML Schema:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

      <introduction>
         <author>Elina Rose</author>
         <p>The usability of a Web site is how well the 
         site supports the user in achieving specified 
         goals. A Web site should facilitate learning, 
         and enable efficient and effective task 
         completion, while propagating few errors. 
         Satisfaction with the site is also important. 
         The user must not only be well-served, but must 
         feel well-served.</p> 
         <p>Expert reviews and usability testing are 
         methods of identifying problems in layout, 
         terminology, and navigation before they frustrate
         users and drive them away from your site.</p>
         <p>The most successful projects employ multiple 
         methods in multiple iterations. As Millicent 
         Marigold remarked during a recent conference, 
         "Don't stop. Iterate, iterate, then iterate 
         again."</p>
         <p>This book has been approved by the Web Site 
         Users Association.</p>

         <title>Expert Reviews</title>
         <introduction>
            <p>Expert reviewers identify problems 
            and recommend changes to web sites based 
            on research in human computer interaction 
            and their experience in the field.</p> 
            <p>Two expert review methods are discussed 
            here. They are heuristic evaluation and 
            cognitive walk-through.</p> 
            <p>Expert review methods should be 
            initiated early in the development process, 
            as soon as paper <b>p</b>rototypes 
            (hand-drawn pictures of Web pages) or 
            <b>w</b>ireframes (electronic mockups) are 
            available. They should be conducted using 
            the hardware and software similar to that 
            employed by users.</p>

            <p>Expert reviewers evaluate Web site 
            understandability and ease of learning while 
            performing specified tasks. They walk through 
            the site answering questions such as "Would a 
            user know by looking at the screen how to 
            complete the first step of the task?" and "If 
            the user completed the first step, would the 
            user know what to do next?," with the goal of 
            identifying any obstacles to completing the 
            task and assessing whether the user would 
            cognitively be aware that he was successful in 
            completing a step in the process.</p>

2 Use Case "ELEMENT": Queries on XML Elements with Simple Content

2.1 Description

These use cases query words and phrases in XML elements with simple content.

These use cases begin with the simplest queries possible. They query a word or phrase in an element with simple content and no descendants. One of these queries is on Chinese characters. Some queries return additional or different elements than were queried. A query queries and returns the full document. Others find a phrase only when it starts an element and find a exact phrase when it is the entire content of an element, allowing full-text variations, such as case, diacritics, and wildcards.

2.2 Queries and Results

2.2.1 Q1 Word Query in an Element

Find all book titles containing the word "usability".

This query finds a word in an element.

Operands: "usability"
Functionality: word query
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./metadata/title
Return: ./metadata/title
Comments: This is the simplest query possible, a query on a word in an element. This query does not employ wildcards, stemming, or thesaurus support. While this query finds useful results in the sample data, many queries such as one on the word "test" would not. A query on the word "test" would return no results, missing the word variants which exist in the sample data: "pretest", "tested", "testers", "testimony", "testing", and "tests".

Solution in XQuery:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book/metadata/title[. contains text "usability"]

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book/metadata/title[. contains text "usability"]

Expected Result:

<title shortTitle="Improving Web Site Usability">Improving 
the Usability of a Web Site Through Expert Reviews 
and Usability Testing</title>

<title shortTitle="Usability Basics">Usability 
Basics: How to Plan for and Conduct Usability Tests 
on Web Site Thereby Improving the Usability of Your 
Web Site</title>

2.2.2 Q2 Phrase Query in an Element

Find all book subjects containing the phrase "usability testing".

This query finds a phrase in an element.

Operands: "usability testing"
Functionality: phrase query
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./metadata/subjects/subject
Return: ./metadata/subjects/subject
Comments: This is a simple query on a phrase in an element. Like an ordered distance query allowing no intervening words, the words in this phrase query must be adjacent to each other and must appear in the order specified. While this query finds useful results in the sample data, many queries such as one on "software developer" would not. A query on the phrase "software developer" would return no results, missing "developer of software" which exists in the sample data.

Solution in XQuery:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book/metadata/subjects/subject[. contains text 
   "usability testing"]

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book/metadata/subjects/subject[. contains text 
"usability testing"]

Expected Result:

<subject>Usability testing</subject>
                                                
<subject>Usability testing</subject>

<subject>Usability testing</subject>

2.2.3 Q3 Phrase Query on Chinese Characters in an Element

Find all book subjects containing the phrase (n-gram) "网站".

This query finds a phrase (n-gram) in an element.

Operands: "网站"
Functionality: phrase query, language qualifier
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./metadata/subjects/subject
Return: ./metadata/subjects/subject
Comments: This query finds a phrase (n-gram) consisting of two Chinese characters. It assumes a specific language dependent tokenization.

Solution in XQuery:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book/metadata/subjects/subject[. contains text 
   "网站" using language "zh"]

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book/metadata/subjects/subject[. contains text 
"网站" using language "zh"]

Expected Result:

<subject>网站建置</subject>  
                                            
<subject>网站可用性</subject>

<subject>网站建置</subject>

2.2.4 Q4 Query in Different Elements

Find all books with "usability tests" in book or chapter titles.

This query finds a phrase in different elements.

Operands: "usability tests"
Functionality: phrase query
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./metadata/title, ./content/part/chapter/title
Return: .
Comments: This query is an example of a query in two different elements.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $title := $book/(metadata|content/part/chapter)/title
where $title contains text "usability tests"
return $book

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book[(metadata|content/part/chapter)
/title contains text "usability tests"]

Expected Result:

<book number="2">

2.2.5 Q5 Query in an Element Returning Different Elements

Find all books with the phrase "usability testing" in some subject.

This query finds a phrase in an element and returns different elements from the same document.

Operands: "usability testing"
Functionality: phrase query
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./metadata/subjects/subject
Return: ./metadata/title, ./metadata/author
Comments: This query queries the subject element, but does not return it. It returns two different elements.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
where $book/metadata/subjects/subject contains text "usability testing"
return $book/metadata/(title|author)

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book[metadata/subjects/subject 
contains text "usability testing"]/metadata/(title|author)

Expected Result:

2.2.6 Q6 Starts-with Query

Find all book titles which start with "improving" followed within 2 words by "usability".

This query finds an element which starts with specific words.

Operands: "improving" "usability"
Functionality: word queries, ordered distance (0 to 2 intervening words), starts-with functionality
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./metadata/title
Return: ./metadata/title
Comments: The starts-with functionality restricts the query to the first words or phrase in an element. It is especially useful in querying journal titles (e.g., Journal of Psychology) in large library collections. This query does not find Book 2 which contains the phrase "improving the usability" in the title element, because the title element does not start with "improving".

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $title := $book/metadata/title 
where $title contains text "improving" ftand "usability" 
   ordered distance at most 2 words at start
return $title

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book/metadata/title[. contains text "improving" 
ftand "usability" ordered distance at most 2 words 
at start]

Expected Result:

<title shortTitle="Improving Web Site Usability">Improving 
the Usability of a Web Site Through Expert Reviews and 
Usability Testing</title>

2.2.7 Q7 Entire Element Content Query

Find all books with the entire title "improve the usability of a web site through expert reviews and usability testing", allowing any form of the word "improve".

This query finds the phrase when it is the entire content of an element.

Operands: "improve the usability of a web site through expert reviews and usability testing"
Functionality: phrase query, character wildcard (suffix) (0 or more), entire element content functionality
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./metadata/title
Return: ./metadata/title
Comments: This query insists that the element contains the entire phrase being queried, no more and no less. It allows full-text variations, such as case, diacritics, and wildcards.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $exactTitle := $book/metadata/title
where $exactTitle contains text "improv.* the usability of a 
   web site through expert reviews and usability testing" 
   using wildcards entire content
return $exactTitle

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book/metadata/title[. contains text 
"improv.* the usability of a web site through expert 
reviews and usability testing" using wildcards entire 
content]

Expected Result:

<title shortTitle="Improving Web Site Usability">Improving 
the Usability of a Web Site Through Expert Reviews and 
Usability Testing</title>

3 Use Case "ACROSS": Queries Across XML Element Boundaries

3.1 Description

These use cases by default query across XML element boundaries.

Boundaries include XML tags: Start-Tags, End-Tags, and Empty-Element Tags. Descendant XML tags and attribute values are removed from the string to be queried by tokenization before the query. At the XQuery Data Model level tags are a syntactic element.

Find queries in an element which do not query some or all of its descendant elements in Section 14 (IGNORE).

Find queries on attribute values in Section 4 (OTHER).

5.2.3 Q3 Zero or More Character Infix Wildcard Query

Find all books with the words "serve" or "service" in the text.

This query finds words with no infix character or any number of infix characters (zero or more characters inserted in the middle of a word).

Operands: "serv", "e"
Functionality: word query, character wildcard (infix) (0 or more)
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./content
Return: concat(./@number, ", ", ./metadata/title)
Comments: This query finds the word "service" and would find the word "serve" if it existed in the sample data. It does not find the word "served" which exists in the sample data.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $cont := $book/content 
where $cont contains text "serv.*e" using wildcards
return (concat($book/@number, ", ", 
   $book/metadata/title))

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book[content contains text "serv.*e" using wildcards]
/concat(@number, ", " , metadata/title)

Expected Result:

1, Improving the Usability of a Web Site Through 
Expert Reviews and Usability Testing

5.2.4 Q4 One or More Character Suffix Wildcard Query on Part of a Word

Find all books with the phrases "usability testing" or "user testing" in the text.

This query finds a phrase allowing a suffix of one or more characters (one or more characters after the last character) on a part of one of the words.

Operands: "us testing"
Functionality: phrase query, character wildcard (suffix) (1 or more)
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./content
Return: concat(./@number, ", ", ./metadata/title)
Comments: This is a suffix query on a part of a word "us" which is not one of the words or one of the roots of the words desired in the results. The query on "us" will find "usability" and "user". Where stemmed queries (Section 6 (STEMMING)) attempt to find linguistic variants of a word or the root of a word, wildcards may be applied to any part of a word and will find all character combinations found.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $cont := $book/content 
where $cont contains text "us.+ testing" using wildcards
return (concat($book/@number, ", ", 
   $book/metadata/title))

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book[content contains text "us.+ testing"
using wildcards]/concat(@number, ", ", metadata/title)

Expected Result:

1, Improving the Usability of a Web Site Through 
Expert Reviews and Usability Testing
2, Usability Basics: How to Plan for and Conduct 
Usability Tests on Web Site Thereby Improving the 
Usability of Your Web Site

5.2.5 Q5 Specified Range of Characters Suffix Wildcard Query

Find all books with the word "test" with a three to four character suffix in the text.

This query finds a word with a number of characters within a specified range in a suffix (specified range of characters after the last character).

Operands: "test"
Functionality: word query, character wildcard (suffix) (3 to 4)
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./content
Return: .
Comments: This query allows any three or four character suffix. It finds "testers" and "testing", but not "pretest" "tests" and "tested" which also appear in the sample data. There is no "test" in the sample data, but if there was, this query would not have found it.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $cont := $book/content 
where $cont contains text "test.{3,4}" using wildcards
return $book

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book[content contains text "test.{3,4}"
using wildcards]

Expected Result:

6 Use Case "STEMMING": Word Stemming Queries

6.1 Description

These use cases invoke a stemming algorithm (e.g., Porter) which finds noun, verb, adjective, and adverb forms of a word or root of a word in singular and plural.

6.2 Queries and Results

6.2.1 Q1 Query Stemming on Word Root

Find all books with the word "test" in the text.

This query finds a word and its variants applying a stemming algorithm.

Operands: "test"
Functionality: word query, stemming
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./content
Return: .
Comments: Unlike the wildcard queries in Section 5 (WILDCARD) which allow any suffix, this query will not return the word "testimony" which occurs in the sample data.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $cont := $book/content
where $cont contains text "test" using stemming
return $book

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book[content contains text "test" 
using stemming]

6.2.2 Q2 Query Stemming on Multiple Word Roots

Find all books with the phrases "usability testing" or "users testing" in the text.

This query finds phrases applying a stemming algorithm to selected words within the phrases.

Operands: "usability testing" "users testing"
Functionality: phrase queries, stemming
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./content
Return: .
Comments: This query applies stemming to one word in a phrase. Unlike the wildcard queries in Section 5 (WILDCARD) which allow any suffix, a stemmed query on "us" will not find "user" and "usability", because they do not share the same root. This query uses an ftor query introduced in Section 10 (LOGICAL).

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $cont := $book/content 
where $cont contains text ("usability" using stemming ftand "testing" 
   phrase) ftor ("users" using stemming ftand "testing" phrase)
return $book

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book[content contains text ("usability" using stemming
ftand "testing" phrase) ftor ("users" using stemming
ftand "testing" phrase)]

8 Use Case "STOP-WORD": Queries on Stop Words

8.1 Description

These use cases query a phrase, one word of which has been identified as a stop word via a stop word list. The first treats the stop word as a stop word. The second does not, making it available again for querying. Another query calls a stop word list then excludes a word on the list making that word available for querying.

Words identified as stop words may be routinely eliminated from queries, allowing any word to be substituted.

8.2.3 Q3 Query Excluding a Stop Word on a Stop Word List

Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./content
Return: ./metadata/title, ./content
Comments: The stop words "not" and "been" are identified via a stop word list, however the stop word "not" is removed temporarily from the stop word list and used as an operand in the query. The query becomes a query on the phrase "not" [any word] "approved", allowing any word as a substitute for the stop word "been". It does not return books with the word "approved" in the phrases "been approved" and "approved travel orders" in the sample data.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book

10.2.3 Q3 And Query Ordered

Find all book text containing the words "goal" "obstacles" "task" in this order.

This query finds multiple words in the order queried.

Operands: "goal" "obstacles" "task"
Functionality: ordered word query
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./content
Return: .
Comments: This query finds multiple words in a specified order. It is more permissive than a phrase query. It is comparable to an ordered distance query where the number of intervening words is zero or more.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $cont := $book/content
where $cont contains text "goal" ftand "obstacles" 
   ftand "task" ordered
return $book

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book[content contains text 
"goal" ftand "obstacles" ftand "task" ordered]

Expected Result:

10.2.4 Q4 Unary Not Query

Find all books which do not belong in a collection on "usability testing".

This query finds books which do not contain a phrase in an element and its descendants.

Operands: "usability testing"
Functionality: phrase query, character wildcard (suffix) (0 or more), unary not query
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: .
Return: .
Comments: Unlike the and not query below, the unary not query requires only one operand. This query has value for information architects and data managers who will use it for checks such as this one: to find nonconforming data in a document or a collection.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book 
where $book contains text ftnot "us.* testing" 
   using wildcards
return $book

Solution in XPath:

/books/book[. contains text ftnot "us.* testing" 
using wildcards]

Expected Result: No results returned.

10.2.5 Q5 And Not Query

Find all books with the word "usability" and not the word "plan" in the metadata.

This query finds a word only when another is not found in an element or its descendants.

Operands: "usability" "plan"
Functionality: word query, and not query
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./metadata
Return: .
Comments: The and not query is also called a but, but not, without query. Unlike the unary not query above,this query requires two operands. Book 2 which contains the words "usability" and "plan" in the metadata is not returned.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $up := $book/metadata
where $up contains text "usability" ftand ftnot "plan"
return $book

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book[./metadata contains text "usability" 
ftand ftnot "plan"]

Expected Result:

<book number="1">
   <metadata>

This query finds books with multiple words and not a phrase containing one of those words.

Operands: "résumés" "drafts" "correspondence" "book drafts"
Functionality: word queries, or query, phrase query, and not query, with diacritics as written in the query
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./content
Return: .
Comments: This query will not return a result the user wants because that result also includes what the user does not want, "book drafts".

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $cont := $book/content
where $cont contains text ("résumés" using diacritics sensitive 
   ftor "drafts" ftor "correspondence") ftand ftnot 
   "book drafts"
return $book

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")

using diacritics sensitive ftor "drafts" ftor "correspondence") 
ftand ftnot "book drafts"]

Expected Result: No results returned.

10.2.7 Q7 Mild Not Query Where Second Operand Is a Subset of the First Operand

Find all books with listings for "résumés", "drafts", or "correspondence", and not "book drafts", in the metadata or text.

This query finds books with multiple words and not a phrase which contains one of the words, while not eliminating a result if it contains the phrase as well as one of the words searched.

Operands: "résumés" "drafts" "correspondence" "book drafts"
Functionality: word queries, or query, phrase query, mild not query, with diacritics as written in the query
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./content
Return: .
Comments: This query will return a result the user wants even though it contains the phrase the user deprecated via the mild not, "book drafts". The user will not lose results which contain what he wants when that book also contains what he does not want. Books containing instances of "book drafts" (a subset of "drafts") are not automatically excluded. Instead the "book drafts" instances are not considered when determing whether or not to include books in the result set.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $cont := $book/content
where $cont contains text ("résumés" using diacritics sensitive 
   ftor "drafts" ftor "correspondence") not in "book 
   drafts"
return $book

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book[content contains text ("résumés" 
using diacritics sensitive ftor "drafts" ftor "correspondence") 
not in "book drafts"]

14 Use Case "IGNORE": Queries Ignoring Descendant Element Content

14.1 Description

These phrase and proximity queries cross element boundaries ignoring the content of descendant elements. One query ignores the content of a complete sub-tree. Other queries ignore only the content of specified descendant elements. The last query performs a level-by-level ignore. It ignores the content of descendant elements when querying the content of the parent element. Its descendant elements are promoted and then their content is queried.

14.2 Queries and Results

14.2.1 Q1 Distance Query Ignoring Content of All Descendant Elements

Find advice on whether the observer should "correct" or provide "guidance" to the user during usability "testing".

This query ignores the content of all descendant elements.

Operands: "testing" "correct" "guidance"
Functionality: phrase query, word queries, or query, ordered distance query (0 to 60 intervening words), ignore content of descendant elements
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: .//p
Return: .
Comments: This query ignores the content of all the descendant elements of the p element, so it ignores the footnote and testingProcedure elements. If the descendant elements were not ignored, the words searched would be too distant from each other to have been returned.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
        /books/book
     where $book//p[. contains text "testing" ftand "guidance" ftor

14.2.4 Q4 Distance Query Ignoring Content of Descendant Elements Level by Level

Find all books with the word "workstation" near the word "lab".

This query performs a level-by-level ignore. It ignores the content of descendant elements when querying the content of the parent element. Its descendant elements are promoted and then their content is queried. It differs from the ignore queries above because it queries the content of parent elements skipping over the descendant elements, then instead of stopping there it queries the content of descendent elements in isolation.

Operands: "workstation" "lab"
Functionality: word queries, unordered distance (0 to 6 intervening words), level by level ignore (ignore the content of descendant element when searching the parent element and promote the descendant element and query it in isolation)
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./content/part/chapter/p, /content/part/chapter/p/footnote
Return: ./metadata/title, .//chapter/(p|p/footnote)
Comments: This query ignores the content of the descendant element footnote when querying its parent element p returning "workstation" and "lab" from "Users can be tested at any computer workstation or in a lab". Then the descendant element footnote is promoted and queried separately returning "workstation" and "lab" from "They may be more comfortable at their own workstation than in a lab". This query is written using the standard ignore syntax ORing together parent and descendant elements to be queried separately.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $matches := $book//chapter/(p|p/footnote)[
   . contains text
   "workstation" ftand "lab" distance at most 6 words
   without content ./footnote]
where $matches
return ($book/metadata/title, $matches)

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book//chapter/(p|p/footnote)[. contains text 
"workstation" ftand "lab" distance at most 6 words 
without content //footnote[.

16.2.9 Q9 Query Using an XQuery Expression to Determine the Number of Words Allowed in a Window

Find all books which discuss "successfully completing tasks".

This query finds words within a window, allowing more words within the window depending on the number of chapters in the book.

Operands: "successfully" "completing" "tasks"
Functionality: word query, stemming, unordered window of at most (number of chapters in the book times 3) words
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./content
Return: ./metadata/title, ./content
Comments: This query uses an XQuery expression to determine the number of words in an unordered window. It allows more words in the window when there are more chapters in the book. The query returns "tasks which are critical for users to be able to complete successfully" from Book 2, because there are three chapters in Book 2 which multiplied by four allows up to twelve words within the window.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $cont := $book/content
where $cont contains text ("successfully" 
   ftand "completing" ftand "tasks"
   window (count($cont/part/chapter) * 4) 
   words) using stemming
return ($book/metadata/title, $cont)

Solution in XPath

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book[content contains text ("successfully" 
ftand "completing" ftand "tasks"
window (count(content/part/chapter) * 4)

17 Use Case "SCORE": All Queries May Be Written with Score, Queries in this Section Must Be Written with Score

17.1 Description

All the queries in these Use Cases may be written with or without score. The Use Cases in this section are merely a small subset that focuses on score.

These queries exploit score and can not be written as queries with pure Boolean full-text predicates. Among these queries are a query that computes and returns only scores, a query which returns only results over a specified threshold, a query which filters by score, a query which returns all the documents ordered, and a query which uses weighting to impact scoring and sorting.

Scoring methodologies are not defined in this recommendation. Scoring is implementation-defined.

17.2 Queries and Results

17.2.1 Q1 Query Returning Scores

Find all books which mention "usability" in the title or the text. Return book titles and scores.

This query performs a word query and returns scores, highest scores first.

Operands: "usability"
Functionality: word query, implementation-defined scoring, returns score, construction of new element
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./metadata/title, ./content
Return: ./@number, ./metadata/title, score (constructed element)
Comments: This query is only possible as a scored query. Scores are included between 0 and 1. The scoring methodology in this use case is for illustrative purposes only. Scoring methodologies will be implementation-defined. This query returns the same results as a query with a pure Boolean full-text predicate. The difference is that the results are scored and the results are returned displaying the score and ranked by score.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
  /books/book
let score $s := ($book/metadata/title contains text 
   "usability" or $book/content contains text "usability") 
where $s > 0  
order by $s descending 
return <book number="{$book/@number}"> 
          {$book/metadata/title}
          <score>{$s}</score> 
       </book>

Solution in XPath: None

Expected Result:

<book number="2">
   <title shortTitle="Usability Basics">Usability 
   Basics: How to Plan for and Conduct Usability Tests 
   on Web Site Thereby Improving the Usability of Your 
   Web Site</title>
   <score>0.9</score>
</book>

<book number="1">
   <title shortTitle="Improving Web Site Usability">Improving 
   the Usability of a Web Site Through Expert Reviews 
   and Usability Testing</title>
   <score>0.8</score>

<book number="3">
   <title shortTitle="Usabilityguy Manuscript 
   Guide">John Wesley Usabilityguy: A Register of His 
   Papers</title>    
   <score>0.12</score>
</book>

17.2.2 Q2 Query Returning Results with Top Scores

Find the best two books on "usability".

This query performs a word query and returns only the results with the two top scores.

Operands: "usability"
Functionality: word query, implementation-defined scoring, returns books with the top two scores, conditional expression
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: .
Return: ./@number, ./metadata/title
Comments: This query returns results only for the two books with the highest scores. This query is only possible as a scored query. The scoring methodology in this use case is for illustrative purposes only. Scoring methodologies will be implementation-defined. This query returns the same results as a query with a pure Boolean full-text predicate. The difference is that the results are scored and through the introduction of a third variable only the two results with the highest scores are returned.

Solution in XQuery:

for $result at $i in
     for $book score $s in 
        doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
        /books/book[. contains text "usability"]
      order by $s ascending
      return $book
   where $i <= 2
   return <book number="{$result/@number}"> 
      {$result/metadata/title}</book>

Solution in XPath: None

Expected Result:

<book number="1">
   <title shortTitle="Improving Web Site Usability">Improving 
   the Usability of a Web Site Through Expert Reviews 
   and Usability Testing</title>
</book>
   
<book number="2">

   Basics: How to Plan for and Conduct Usability Tests 
   on Web Site Thereby Improving the Usability of Your 
   Web Site</title> 
</book>

17.2.3 Q3 Query Filtering on Scores

Find all books that focus on "usability".

This query performs a word query and filters on scores.

Operands: "usability"
Functionality: word query, implementation-defined scoring, filters on scores (accepts only those with score over 0.1)
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: .
Return: ./@number, ./metadata/title
Comments: This query is only possible as a scored query. The scoring methodology in this use case is for illustrative purposes only. Scoring methodologies will be implementation-defined. This query returns the same results as a query with a pure Boolean full-text predicate. The difference is that the results are scored and then filtered on the scores.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book score $s in 
   doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book[. contains text "usability"]
where $s > 0.1
return $book/metadata/title

Solution in XPath:

doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
/books/book[(for $i score $s in .[. contains text "usability"]
return $s) > 0.1]/metadata/title

Expected Result:

Web Site</title>

17.2.4 Q4 Query Combining Score and XML Structure with a Conditional Return

Find all books with parts about "usability testing".

This query finds books which contain parts about usability testing, returning entire books, but without part elements identified as irrelevant via score.

Operands: "usability testing"
Functionality: phrase query, character wildcard (suffix) (0 or more), implementation-defined scoring, filters on scores (under .05), conditional return
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: .//part
Return: . without irrelevant .//part
Comments: This query is only meaningful as a scored query. The scoring methodology in this use case is for illustrative purposes only. Scoring methodologies will be implementation-defined. This query returns the same results as a query with a pure Boolean full-text predicate. The difference is that this query filters the part elements. They are included or excluded from the results depending on their score.

Solution in XQuery:

declare function local:filter ( $nodes 
   as node()*, $exclude as element()* ) as node()*
   {
      for $node in $nodes except $exclude
      return
         typeswitch ($node)
            case $e as element()
               return 
                 element {node-name($e)}
                   {
                       $e/@*,
                      local:filter( $e/node() except $exclude, 
                      $exclude )
                   }
            default 
               return $node
   };

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $irrelevantParts := 
   for $part in $book//part
   let score $score := $part contains text "usability test.*" 
      using wildcards
   where $score < 0.5
   return $part
where count($irrelevantParts) < count($book//part)
return local:filter($book, $irrelevantParts)

         <p>The usability of a Web site is how well the 
         site supports the user in achieving specified 
         goals. A Web site should facilitate learning, 
         and enable efficient and effective task 
         completion, while propagating few errors. 
         Satisfaction with the site is also important. 
         The user must not only be well-served, but must 
         feel well-served.</p> 
         <p>Expert reviews and usability testing are 
         methods of identifying problems in layout, 
         terminology, and navigation before they frustrate
         users and drive them away from your site.</p>
         <p>The most successful projects employ multiple 
         methods in multiple iterations. As Millicent 
         Marigold remarked during a recent conference,

17.2.5 Q5 Query Returning All Books Ordered by Score

Return all books, listing books with text on "software" first.

This query performs a word query, returns all the documents in the database, and orders them returning those with found word first, those without last.

Operands: "software"
Functionality: word query, implementation-defined scoring
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: .
Return: .
Comments: This query is only meaningful as a scored query. The scoring methodology in this use case is for illustrative purposes only. Scoring methodologies will be implementation-defined. This query returns the more results than a parallel query with a pure Boolean full-text predicate. In a parallel query with a pure Boolean full-text predicate, the last result would have a Boolean value of false and would not be returned. In this scored query the last result receives a score and is returned.

Solution in XQuery:

17.2.6 Q6 Query with Weight Declaration

Finds books which discuss "conducting usability tests" returning those which mention "measuring success" first.

This query finds words using weighting on optional words to impact the scoring and sorting.

Operands: "conduct" "usability" "tests" "measuring" "success"
Functionality: word queries, stemming, unordered distance (0 to 10 intervening words between "conduct" and "usability" and between "usability" and "tests"), unordered distance (0 to 4 intervening words between "measuring" and "success"), weight declaration
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./content
Return: ./metadata/title, ./content
Comments: This query returns books on "conducting usability tests", using a weight declaration to return books with mentions of "measuring success" higher in the sort.

Solution in XQuery:

for $book in doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")
   /books/book
let $booktext := $book/content [. contains text ("conduct"
   ftand "usability" ftand "tests" distance at most
   10 words) using stemming]
let score $s := $booktext contains text
   (("measuring" ftand "success" distance
   at most 4 words) weight {1.8}) using stemming  
where $booktext
order by $s descending
return ($book/metadata/title, $booktext)
