XQuery is the best language for querying, manipulating, and
transforming XML and JSON documents. Because XML is in many ways
the lingua franca of the digital humanities, learning XQuery
empowers humanists to discover and analyze their data in new ways.
Until now, though, XQuery has been difficult to learn because there
was no textbook designed for non- or beginner programmers. XQuery
for Humanists fills this void with an approachable guidebook aimed
directly at digital humanists. Clifford B. Anderson and Joseph C.
Wicentowski introduce XQuery in terms accessible to humanities
scholars and do not presuppose any prior background in programming.
It provides an informed, opinionated overview and recommends the
best implementations, libraries, and paradigms to empower those who
need it most. Emphasizing practical applicability, the authors go
beyond the XQuery language to include the basics of underlying
standards like XPath, related standards like XQuery Full Text and
XQuery Update, and explain the difference between XQuery and
languages like Python and R. This book will afford readers the
skills they need to build and analyze large-scale documentary
corpora in XML. XQuery for Humanists is immeasurably valuable to
instructors of digital humanities and library science courses alike
and likewise is a ready reference for faculty, graduate students,
and librarians who seek to master XQuery for their projects.
