Current proposals for XML query languages lack most IR-related features, which are weighting and ranking, relevance-oriented search, datatypes with vague predicates, and semantic relativism. XIRQL integrates these features by using ideas from logic-based probabilistic IR models, in combination with concepts from the database area. For processing XIRQL queries, a path algebra is presented, that also serves as a starting point for query optimization.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 24th {Annual} {International} {Conference} on {Research} and development in {Information} {Retrieval}}, publisher = {ACM}, author = {Fuhr, Norbert and Gro{\textbackslash}ssjohann, K}, editor = {Croft, W B and Harper, D and Kraft, D H and Zobel, J}, year = {2001}, pages = {172--180}, }
