This example visualizes the frequency and distribution of words extracted from a TEI-encoded poem, processing the text to remove punctuation, normalize case, and tokenize it into a list. The visualization shows the resulting word list as a simple textual display, highlighting the raw output of the XQuery processing pipeline. The code uses XQuery 3.0 functions like `fn:tokenize`, `fn:lower-case`, and `fn:replace` to clean the data, pulling the source directly from a remote XML file hosted on GitHub. The rendering relies solely on the XQuery return, with no additional JavaScript or charting libraries involved.

Produces word frequences for any given sequence of text nodes

This visualization shows word frequencies extracted from a sequence of text nodes, displaying each unique word with its frequency count. The XQuery code collects text from the TEI-encoded source document, normalizes tokens by removing punctuation and lowercasing, then counts occurrences of each distinct word. It returns an ordered dictionary element with word-frequency pairs sorted in descending order. The example uses the XQuery 3.0 specification, including functions like `fn:tokenize`, `fn:distinct-values`, and `fn:count`, to process the remote XML data.

Example from Programming4Humanists

This example visualizes word frequency in a text by processing the poem’s lines and filtering out common stopwords. It shows a ranked list of words by their occurrence count, displayed in descending order. The code uses XQuery 3.0 with functions like `fn:tokenize`, `fn:distinct-values`, and `fn:count` to compute frequencies, while reading the source text and stopword list from gist URLs. The rendering approach is a simple textual output of word elements, each carrying a `frequency` attribute, rather than a graphical chart.

This set of functions produces word frequencies for any given sequence of text nodes.

This example computes word frequencies from a sequence of text nodes and returns them as an ordered list of word elements. It first shows the frequency-ranked vocabulary by normalizing the input—converting to lowercase, stripping punctuation, and tokenizing—before counting occurrences of each distinct token. The code uses XQuery 3.0 with functions like `fn:tokenize`, `fn:distinct-values`, and `fn:count` to group and sort the results. The final output is an XML `<words>` element containing individual `<word>` elements with a `frequency` attribute, ordered from most to least frequent. The data source is the `//tei:l` elements from a TEI-encoded text.

Gist 162dbae87c5cab9f59fd433e235bafb2

This example demonstrates how to extract and collate poems from the Victorian Women Writers Project, a corpus of TEI P5-encoded texts. It shows the process of filtering documents by genre, retrieving individual poems, and normalizing their text. The code uses XQuery 3.1 with the BaseX database and its `fn:collection`, `fn:doc`, and `fn:normalize-space` functions. It outputs the results as CSV using BaseX's serialization options, specifying comma separators and headers, while converting poem text to lowercase.

This is my example code from our classroom exercise

This example visualizes stage directions from a TEI-encoded text by associating each person with the stages they appear in. The XQuery code iterates through `//person` elements and collects matching `//stage` elements based on the `@who` attribute, outputting a structured XML list of directions per character. It relies on the TEI namespace and uses `fn:tokenize` to parse multiple ID references. The result is a plain XML document, not a graphical rendering, serving as a preprocessing step for potential downstream visualization.

XQuery Full-Text Examples

This example demonstrates XQuery Full-Text search and scoring over the TEI-encoded poems of *Les Fleurs du Mal*. It shows basic text matching with the `contains text` operator, then extends to counting results via `ft:count()`, highlighting matches with `ft:mark()`, extracting snippets with `ft:extract()`, and ranking hits by relevance using `ft:score()` with descending order. The final `search.xqy` combines scoring, marking, and base-URI display, filtering out a specific document. The code uses the XQuery 3.1 `=>` arrow operator for function chaining, and relies on the `fn:collection()` function to access the poem corpus.

XQuery Working Group Challenge

This example transforms the PROIEL treebank’s Latin New Testament XML into a sequence of verse elements, each tagged with its citation and concatenated token forms. It fetches the remote XML via `fn:doc`, extracts distinct citation parts, and filters tokens by matching `@citation-part` to build structured verses. The code uses XQuery 3.1’s element constructors and `fn:data` to output text, demonstrating a direct pipeline from hierarchical treebank data to flat verse-like text.

Exploring your Collection

This visualization shows a collection of TEI-encoded texts by querying their titles and full-text content, highlighting matches for terms like “vin” or co-occurring words like “mal” and “je” within the same sentence. It first demonstrates how to list all titles in the collection, then filters those titles using XQuery Full-Text expressions via the `contains text` operator. The code uses the BaseX or eXist-db XQuery 3.0 engine, leveraging the `fn:collection()` function to access documents and the TEI namespace for element traversal, with no external visualization libraries—the output is plain text.
