FoXQ -XQuery by forms

We introduce FoXQ, a visual language that would enable end users to query XML. Our aim is to develop a language that would bring a lot of the functionality of XQuery within the reach of the end users without getting them embroiled in the intricacies of XQuery syntax. The query interface is form-based and the query model is based on a document metaphor in which the users formulate queries by filling out forms.
