Scripting Documents with XQuery: Virtual Documents in TNTBase

Abstract: This paper introduces the concept of Virtual Documents and its prototypical realization in our TNTBase system, a versioned XML database. Virtual Documents integrate XQuery-based computational facilities into documents like JSP/PHP do for relational queries. We view the integration of computation in documents as an enabling technology and evaluate it on a handful of real-world use cases.

“…Even for small libraries and even if TNTBase runs on a remote server, this query outperforms the straightforward implementation based on local files. Moreover, using the virtual documents of TNTBase, such generated documents are editable; see [ZK10] for details. TNTBase keeps track of how a document was aggregated and propagates the necessary patches when a changed version of the virtual document is committed.…”

“…The panta rhei system has integrated JOMDOC to demonstrate the generation of exams: Teaching assistants can simply point to collections of exercises and specify the context of the new exam (e.g., in terms of language and difficulty level) and initiate the system to generate an exam. An application to a big exercise corpus is currently addressed in the TNTBASE project (Zholudev and Kohlhase, 2010).…”

“…The proposed workflows have been implemented and tested in several libraries (JOMDoc, 2010;Adaptor, 2010) and systems (Zholudev and Kohlhase, 2010;Giceva et al, 2009). One of these systems is panta rhei, a collaborative document reader and discussion platform that has been used as supplement to a theoretical computer science lecture at Jacobs University.…”
