This model you are describing is evolving. The old model of the web is moving towards a thick client architecture. For instance, HTML5 applications support local document databases. How do you productively query such database? How do you synchronize the database with the cloud? I feel that XQuery has answered these questions already but is being ignored. Same story on the backend, when it comes to query flexible documents, XQuery has answered a lot of questions that the NoSQL community is only starting to discover and yet it seems that there is a cultural gap between the two communities. > > -- > Andrew Welch > http://andrewjwelch.com > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] > http://x-query.com/mailman/listinfo/talk >
