abstract = {We give a light-weight but formal introduction to
XQuery by defining a sublanguage of XQuery. We ignore
typing, and don t consider namespaces, comments,
programming instructions, and entities. To avoid
confusion we call our version LiXQuery (Light
XQuery). LiXQuery is fully downwards compatible with
XQuery. Its syntax and its semantics are far less
complex than that of XQuery, but the typical
expressions of XQuery are included in LiXQuery. We
claim that LiXQuery is an elegant and simple
sublanguage of XQuery that can be used for
educational and research purposes. We give the
complete syntax and the formal semantics of
LiXQuery.},
