<p>This is a <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#maturity-levels">
Working Draft</a> as described in the <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html">Process
Document</a>. It has been developed by the W3C <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/XML/Query/">XML Query Working Group</a>, which
is part of the <a href="http://www.w3.org/XML/Activity">XML
Activity</a>. The Working Group expects to eventually publish this
document as a Working Group Note.</p>
<p>This document provides a number of use cases designed to
evaluate XQuery 3.0, the requirements for which are specified in
<a href="#xquery-30-requirements">[XQuery 3.0 Requirements]</a>.
Organizations and individuals should review this document to
ascertain whether or not adequate coverage of the requirements is
provided by these use cases.</p>
<p>This Working Draft is being published concurrently with the
XQuery 3.0 spec published on the same date. It has been updated to
include additional use cases and to align it with the correct
syntax of XQuery 3.0.</p>
<p>Please report errors in this document using W3C's <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/">public Bugzilla system</a>
(instructions can be found at <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/04/qt-bugzilla">http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/04/qt-bugzilla</a>).
If access to that system is not feasible, you may send your
comments to the W3C XSLT/XPath/XQuery public comments mailing list,
<a href=
"mailto:public-qt-comments@w3.org">public-qt-comments@w3.org</a>.
It will be very helpful if you include the string “[XQuery30UC]” in
the subject line of your report, whether made in Bugzilla or in
email. Please use multiple Bugzilla entries (or, if necessary,
multiple email messages) if you have more than one comment to make.

<p>This document was produced by a group operating under the

<h2><a name="ucforxq30" id="ucforxq30"></a>1 Use Cases for XML
Query 3.0</h2>
<p>The use cases listed below were created by the XML Query Working
Group to illustrate important applications for the new features in
XQuery 3.0. Each use case is focused on a specific application
area, and contains a XML Schema and example input data. Each use
case specifies a set of queries that might be applied to the input
data, and the expected results for each query. Since the English
description of each query is concise, the expected results form an
important part of the definition of each query, specifying the
expected output format.</p>
<p>Most of the listed use cases are based on a simple shopping
scenario described in section <a href="#data">Schema and Data</a>.
Use cases which require special data have a seperate subsection
describing the XML Schema and input data. All use cases assume that
input is provided in the form of one or more documents with
specific names. For instance, the products in a document may be
accessed with expressions like this:</p>
<div class="exampleInner">
<pre>
doc("products.xml")//product
</pre></div>
<p>Several implementors have asked us to make the queries from
these use cases available in a separate file in order to make it
easier for them to test their parsers. These queries may be found
in <a href="#UseCaseQueries">[Use Case Sample Queries]</a></p>
<p>To make output more readable, the output of queries has been
formatted using whitespace which may not be returned by a query
processor. This whitespace should not be considered normative for
the correctness of results.</p>
<p>These queries were tested with a dynamic implementation of
XQuery. Some queries may require additional type declarations to be
used with an implementation that implements the Static Typing
feature.</p>
</div>
<div class="div1">
<h2><a name="data" id="data"></a>2 Shopping Scenario: Schema and
Data</h2>
<p>If not stated otherwise all use cases in this document are based
on a simplified shopping scenario containing three documents. The
first document, products.xml, contains a list of products, whereas
stores.xml includes a list of stores, and sales-records.xml
contains the list of sales.</p>
<div class="div2">
<h3><a name="dtdproducts" id="dtdproducts"></a>2.1 Schema</h3>
<p>The document product.xml uses the following XML Schema:</p>
<div class="exampleInner">
<pre>
&lt;xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt;
&lt;xs:element name="products"&gt;
&lt;xs:complexType&gt;
&lt;xs:sequence&gt;
&lt;xs:element name="product" maxOccurs="unbounded"&gt;
&lt;xs:complexType&gt;
&lt;xs:sequence&gt;
&lt;xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/&gt;
&lt;xs:element name="category" type="xs:string"/&gt;
&lt;xs:element name="price" type="xs:double"/&gt;
&lt;xs:element name="cost" type="xs:double"/&gt;
&lt;/xs:sequence&gt;
&lt;/xs:complexType&gt;
&lt;/xs:element&gt;
&lt;/xs:sequence&gt;
&lt;/xs:complexType&gt;
&lt;/xs:element&gt;
&lt;/xs:schema&gt;
</pre></div>
<p>The sales-records.xml document follows this XML Schema:</p>
<div class="exampleInner">
<pre>
&lt;xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt;
&lt;xs:element name="sales"&gt;
&lt;xs:complexType&gt;
&lt;xs:sequence&gt;
&lt;xs:element name="record" maxOccurs="unbounded"&gt;
&lt;xs:complexType&gt;
&lt;xs:sequence&gt;
