Vol: 47(61) No: 1 / March 2002 Different XML-based Search Techniques on Web Sabin Corneliu Buraga Faculty of Computer Science, A.I.Cuza University of Iasi, Berthelot Street, 16 Iasi, Romania, phone: (+40) 32 201090, e-mail: busaco@infoiasi.ro, web: www.infoiasi.ro/~busaco/ Mihaela Brut Faculty of Computer Science, A.I.Cuza University of Iasi, Berthelot Street, 16 Iasi, Romania, e-mail: mihaela@infoiasi.ro Keywords: World-Wide Web, Query, XML, Markup, Data Representation Abstract The broad promotion of XML as the standard meta-language applied to define markups for Web documents encouraged multiple researches on promising XML query languages. In this paper we study different approaches on defining XML-based query languages and we propose WQGL (Web Query Graphical Language) - an extension of WQFL (Web Query Formulating Language). WQGL gives support to construct graphical and intuitive Web interfaces for assisting users to build complex queries. References [1] V.
