To date, most of the works on XML query and search have stemmed from the structured side and are strongly inspired by database techniques. In a previous work we described a new query approach via pieces of XML data called “XML Fragments” which are of the same nature as the queried XML documents and are specifically targeted to support the information needs of end-users in an intuitive way.
