Abstract XML is nowadays considered the standard meta‐language for document markup and data representation. XML is widely employed in Web‐related applications as well as in database applications, and there is also a growing interest for it by the literary community to develop tools for supporting document‐oriented retrieval operations. The purpose of this article is to show the basic new requirements of this kind of applications and to present the main features of a typed query language, called Tequyla‐TX, designed to support them.
