This example shows a list of reporter names extracted from a single XML data column, tokenized by pipe delimiters into an array of individual contributors. The code uses the XQuery function `fn:tokenize` on the text of a `<column>` element named "Reporters" and returns the resulting sequence of names. The visualization itself is minimal, relying on the query language’s string-handling API rather than a graphical library, making it a data-cleaning step rather than a rendered chart. The source is a gist by CliffordAnderson, and the output simply displays the parsed names.

For XQuery4Humanists

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.

Get people appearing with a list of people from NewsReader

This visualization maps the co-occurrence of people mentioned in news articles, showing which individuals appear alongside a list of queried names from NewsReader. The code retrieves data by iterating through paginated JSON requests to the NewsReader API, using the `requests` library to fetch actor pairs and their associated event counts. It filters results for names like David Beckham and Sepp Blatter, saving each co-occurrence record via `scraperwiki.sqlite` into an "actors" table. The example demonstrates a network-style data pipeline where connections between people are extracted from structured news metadata, though it does not include any client-side rendering or charting library.

Web scraping for Summer Teams

This example shows how to extract participant names from Vanderbilt University Library’s summer project listings and reformat them into CSV rows of project–participant pairs. It scrapes the HTML page using `fetch:text` and `html:parse`, then navigates the DOM with XPath to select project headings and member text. The code uses `fn:tokenize` and `fn:replace` to split and normalize names into a “last,first” format, with special handling for suffixes like Jr. or III. Output is generated via the XQuery `output:method` and `output:csv` declarations, producing a comma-separated table.

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.

ORCID names

This example shows ORCID researcher names sorted alphabetically by family name, with each entry formatted as “family name, given name.” The code queries an ORCID XML collection using XQuery 3.1, referencing the ORCID person and personal-details namespaces to extract the name components. It iterates through each `person:name` element, orders the results by family name, and joins the family and given names with a comma and space. The output is a simple list of person elements, demonstrating how XQuery’s `fn:collection` and `fn:string-join` functions can transform structured author metadata into a readable ordered sequence.

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 for Partitioning the Blue Mountain Project

This example demonstrates a pipeline for cleaning, partitioning, and exporting articles from the Blue Mountain Project’s TEI transcriptions into language-specific databases. It shows how XQuery 3.1 scripts transform raw periodical XML by removing facsimile and hyphenation artifacts, splitting documents into individual articles, and grouping them by `mainLang` attributes into new databases. The workflow then exports French-language texts as plain .txt files, and R code using the `tm` and `SnowballC` libraries performs text mining, including term-document matrices and stemming.

Grouping example

This example shows how XQuery groups report records by author and clearance status, revealing the distribution of cleared, not acquired, and unknown items per author. It first defines a function that maps numeric clearance flags to categorical labels, then queries the `ReportMaster` collection. Using the `group by` clause, it aggregates records by both author and status, while `fn:replace` extracts the author’s surname for ordering. The output is a series of `<report>` elements containing the author and status. The code relies on the XQuery 3.1 standard, specifically the `collection` function and `group by` syntax, with no external visualization libraries.
