Research
I've spent my last six years on relational XQuery. This approach to XQuery evaluation, embodied in the research prototype MonetDB/XQuery, relies on the use of purely relational database techniques. Relational XQuery makes the scalability advantages of existing relational database kernels immediately accessible to the processing of XQuery—resulting in unprecedented scalability with XML document sizes.
Since I joined the Scalable XML Infrastructure group at IBM Watson, I am combining the use of relational techniques for query evaluation with traditional programming language compiler optimizations, in the search for further performance improvements and support for XQuery language extensions such as updates or other side effects.
