Well, assuming that you wish to query at the RDF model level (and not at the XML syntax level which is probably what using Xquery would get you), there are several tools out there, in varying stages of maturity. I'll shamelessly plug "my own" tool here: Sesame (http://sesame.aidministrator.nl/) is an RDF & RDF Schema storage and querying architecture that might fit your requirements. It is Open Source and freely downloadable. Other tools you might want to take a look at are the Jena Toolkit, RDF Suite, RDFDB, Squish, Redland, etc. The list goes on. There is actually quite a nice survey on these tools in a recent technical report from the Ontoweb project, which might be of some help to you (keep in mind though that these tools are usually still under development, therefor some data in this survey may be out of date already): http://www.ontoweb.org/download/deliverables/D13_v1-0.zip Best regards, Jeen -- jeen.broekstra@aidministrator.nl aidministrator nederland bv - http://www.aidministrator.nl/ julianaplein 14b, 3817 cs amersfoort, the netherlands tel. +31-(0)33-4659987, fax. +31-(0)33-4659987
