The use cases listed below were created by XML Query and XSL Working Groups, to illustrate important applications of full-text querying within an XML query language. Each use case exercises a specific functionality relevant to full-text querying. An XML Schema and sample input data are provided. Each use case specifies a query applied to the input data, a solution in XQuery, a solution in XPath (when possible), and the expected results.
The document supplements the XML Query Use Cases which can be found in the W3C XML Query Use Cases [XQuery-UseCases]. Use cases for character string querying are included in the XML Query Use Cases, not in this document.
The full-text queries in the following use cases are performed on text which has been tokenized, i.e., broken into a sequence of words, units of punctuation, and spaces.
A word is defined as any character, n-gram, or sequence of characters returned by a tokenizer as a basic unit to be queried. Each instance of a word consists of zero or more consecutive characters. Beyond that words are implementation defined. Note that consecutive words need not be separated by either punctuation or space, and words may overlap. A phrase is an ordered list of words. A phrase may contain any number of words.
Tokenization enables functions and operators which work with the relative positioning of words (e.g., proximity operators). Tokenization also enables functions and operators which operate on a part or the root of the word (e.g., wildcards, stemming).
These use cases:
(1) Present some possible functions and features for tokenized text support in XQuery and XPath. None are yet available in XQuery or XPath. Please comment on these use cases and recommend others.
(2) Illustrate simple and complex queries. The more complex queries would normally only be constructed by programmers, librarians, and other expert users, or provided for novice users via saved queries and graphical user interfaces. Each query is intended to illustrate a single functionality, although queries might overlap in their functionalities (e.g., phrases and ordered distance queries allowing no intervening words). Overlapping and similar functionalities are noted in the comments on query behavior.
(3) Draw from sample data which are almost entirely in English. Use cases in other languages are solicited, especially where they illustrate language-specific implementations of functions and features. Among the most sought after are use cases for queries using prefix and infix wild cards, proximity queries, and operators and queries requiring functionality which may not have Western language equivalents.
(4) Include queries which in most instances can be written with pure Boolean full-text predicates or with scoring (e.g., scoring on the number of occurrences of a word or phrase, scoring on how close words are to one another within a distance query, scoring on how similar a word is to the one being stemmed) [BYR99] [HTK00]. A few, those in Section 17 (SCORE), cannot be written with Boolean full-text predicates. Scoring methodologies will not be defined in this recommendation. Scoring will be implementation defined. Results are provided in document order, except those in Section 17 (SCORE). Results could be returned ordered differently, such as by relevance (based on implementation defined scoring) or explicitly by element.
(5) Query element content. See Section 4 (OTHER) for explicit queries on attribute values.
(6) Include queries which are case-insensitive. When returning a paragraph, the text is returned as it occurs in the data model. This approach was chosen to keep the sample data short and the expected results meaningful. It would have be equally valid to return only the character queried. A case-sensitive query is found in Section 9 (CHARACTER).
(7) Include queries which when they target XML elements are understood, unless otherwise stated, to query text within any text node descendant of the element.
(8) Include queries which return only elements and attributes which meet all the conditions specified in the query. In particular, Boolean queries return results where the Boolean conditions in the query are satisfied, i.e., are used to select what is being returned to users.
Query results may be returned in different ways. From a query for books containing the word "usability", users might be interested in returning, for each book containing the word "usability", its number and its entire content. In another situation for the same query, users might be interested in returning, for each book containing the word "usability", its number and only the elements and attributes in the content which contain the word "usability". As in this second situation, the queries in these use cases return only elements and attributes which meet all the conditions specified in the query.
The Return clause may also include additional or different elements and attributes if specified, and may construct new elements.
(9) Include queries which provide some of the basic functionality of fuzzy match querying (e.g., wildcards, stemming, thesaurus support, proximity).
(10) Provide highlighting of found words and phrases in the expected results of queries as an aid to users. The presence of highlighting says nothing about whether highlighting will be a feature of XQuery or XPath full-text querying.
(11) Display query solutions in XQuery and when possible in XPath. Queries which may not be written in XPath include those which contain element constructors, and cannot be written without let and order by clauses.
Examples of full-text querying functionalities for XML query languages can be found in [FGR01], [HTK00], [MJK98], [SCH01] and [TWE00].
To make the output more readable, the output of queries has been formatted using white space which may not be returned by a query processor. This white space should not be considered normative for the correctness of results.
These use cases represent a snapshot of an ongoing work. Some important operators and features are not yet adequately covered by a use case. The XML Query and XSL Working Groups reserve the right to add, delete, or modify individual queries or whole use cases as the work progresses. The presence of a query in this set of use cases does not necessarily indicate that the query will be expressible in XQuery [XQuery] and/or XPath [XPath2] to be created by the XML Query and XSL Working Groups.
The queries in these use cases are presented in the following format:
Query number Query title
User statement of query
Statement of functionality illustrated by query
Operands: Parts of words, words, phrases
Functionality: Operators, functions, collations, other functionality
Data context: One XPath expression locating the data being queried.
Query context: One or more XPath expressions locating the elements and attributes to be queried. The context of elements and attributes used in the Query context is relative to the Data context defined above.
Return: One or more XPath expressions which are returned only if the conditions specified in the query are met. Returned elements or attributes may differ from those specified in the Query context. Newly constructed elements might be returned. As in the Query context, the context of elements and attributes in Return statements is relative to the Data context defined above.
Comments: Comments on query behavior in general, and against the sample data in particular, plus the rationale for including this query in the use cases.
Version: Each query is marked as "For consideration in v.1" or "For consideration after v.1".
Solution in XQuery:
Solutions illustrating XQuery Full-Text syntax appear here. All queries may be written in XQuery. Solutions are written to return Boolean full-text predicates and not to invoke scoring, except for those Section 17 (SCORE), however all the queries in the document may be written as scored queries with the addition of an ft:score. All queries are written assuming the default function namespace, without the fn:prefix.
See Issue 1 [staticErrorTesting]: The queries in the Full-Text Use Cases have not yet been tested to ensure they do not cause static errors, such as cardinality errors.
Solution in XPath:
Solutions illustrating XPath Full-Text syntax appear (when the query may be written in XPath) here. Solutions are written to return Boolean full-text predicates and not to invoke scoring, except for those Section 17 (SCORE), however all the queries in the document may be written as scored queries with the addition of an ft:score. All queries are written assuming the default function namespace, without the fn:prefix.
See Issue 1 [staticErrorTesting]: The queries in the Full-Text Use Cases have not yet been tested to ensure they do not cause static errors, such as cardinality errors.
Expected Result:
Results are provided here.
Found words and phrases are highlighted.
For brevity, only the elements and attributes which meet
the conditions specified in the query are displayed. Others are
replaced with ...s.
Results are provided in document order, except those
in Section 17 (SCORE)

These use cases query words and phrases in XML elements with simple content.
These use cases begin with the simplest queries possible. They query a word or phrase in an element with simple content and no descendants. One of these queries is on Chinese characters. Some queries return additional or different elements than were queried. A query queries and returns the full document. Others find a phrase only when it starts an element and find a exact phrase when it is the entire content of an element, allowing variations only for diacritics, case, and special characters.
Find all book titles containing the word "usability".
This query finds a word in an element.
Operands: "usability"
Functionality: word query
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./metadata/title
Return: ./metadata/title
Comments: This is the simplest query possible, a query on a word in an element. This query does not employ wildcards, stemming, or thesaurus support. While this query finds useful results in the sample data, many queries such as one on the word "test" would not. A query on the word "test" would return no results, missing the word variants which exist in the sample data: "pretest", "tested", "testers", "testimony", "testing", and "tests".

Comments: This is a simple query on a phrase in an element. Like an ordered distance query allowing no intervening words, the words in this phrase query must be adjacent to each other and must appear in the order specified. While this query finds useful results in the sample data, many queries such as one on "software developer" would not. A query on the phrase "software developer" would return no results, missing "developer of software" which exists in the sample data.

Find all book titles which start with "improving the usability".
This query finds an element which starts with a phrase.
Operands: "improving the usability"
Functionality: phrase query, starts-with functionality
Data context: doc("http://bstore1.example.com/full-text.xml")/books/book
Query context: ./metadata/title
Return: ./metadata/title
Comments: The starts-with functionality restricts the query to the first words or phrase in an element. It is especially useful in querying journal titles (e.g., Journal of Psychology) in large library collections. This query does not find Book 2 which contains the phrase "improving the usability" in the title
element, because the title
element does not start with "improving the usability".

All the queries in these Use Cases may be written with Boolean full-text predicates or scored predicates. The Use Cases in this section are merely a small subset that focuses on score.
These queries exploit score and can not be written as queries with pure Boolean full-text predicates. Among these queries are a query that computes and returns only scores, a query which returns only results over a specified threshold, a query which filters by score, and a query which returns all the documents ordered.
Scoring methodologies will not be defined in this recommendation. Scoring will be implementation defined.
