Hi Benito,

I remember you mentioning Xidel at Balisage. I will add it to my list also.

Thanks again for all the input of open source XQuery implementations. I ended 
up installing BaseX this morning and have decided to use that software for the 
hands-on XQuery exercises that will make up half of the presentation.

Best,

Chris

Subject: Re: [xquery-talk] Open source XQuery processors

Hi,

I wrote one: http://videlibri.sourceforge.net/xidel.html

Online version: http://videlibri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xidelcgi?xquery=(1 to 
50)

It is interpreting a language half way between XQuery 1 and XQuery 3 at the 
moment.
As well as JSONiq.

Sometimes its error checking is too weak and it evaluates stuff that is not 
valid XQuery

Originally it was a library app, which lets you view your library account and 
do stuff like automatically
renewing everything, before it is due.
To allow everyone to add their own catalog without much effort, I implemented a 
language similar
to XPath with some extensions. But then everyone said that is far too 
complicated and they won't do it.
So I had mostly stopped working on that aspect and changed it to become a 
standard-compatible
XQuery engine instead, without anything related to libraries.

Best,
Benito

I'm preparing an ALA preconference session for librarians titled "Using XQuery 
as a Library Metadata Tool." I'd like to provide the attendees with a list of 
XQuery resources so they can set up their own XQuery programming environment at 
their home institutions. Open source software is usually preferred by 
librarians, especially for grant projects.

I feel a little handicapped in this area as I've been using MarkLogic for over 
seven years and have not had to work with open source XQuery tools.

Any recommendations on what should be on this list?

Thanks,

Chris
