Scripting Documents with XQuery: Virtual Documents in TNTBase
Vyacheslav Zholudev, Michael Kohlhase · Balisage series on markup technologies · 2010
This paper introduces the concept of Virtual Documents and its prototypical realization in our TNTBase system, a versioned XML database. Virtual Documents integrate XQuery-based computational facilities into documents like JSP/PHP do for relational queries. We view the integration of computation in documents as an enabling technology and evaluate it on a handful of real-world use cases.
