XQuery and virtualization
XQuery is not just a technology from the XML world, but something that everyone needs to know. How XQuery begins its offensive is described in these articles:
XQuery and data abstraction
XPath 2.0 functionality (via XQuery or XSLT) makes it possible to work with objects even when data is not included in the object, but stored in external sources or even exist only in virtual form.
XQuery, libferris and virtual file systems.
With libferris, you can turn anything into a virtual file system. And since the FS is a tree, it turns out that the combined use of XQuery and libferris provides a universal system of querying data.
