DBT524 Querying XML Data with XPath and XQuery

XML has become the standard approach for representing structured data in a form that can be transferred between computer systems. XML can be used to capture a wide range of information, from highly structured (such as tables of statistics) to relatively loosely structured (such as a book). This course provides students with the basic knowledge and skills required to extract meaningful information from XML documents of all kinds. The course is based on the XPath and XQuery languages defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
