- express query comonents in XML
- between a lot and too many angle brackets
- RDF
- express the query as an RDF graph
- leads to reificiation (or misleading assertions)
- other (ASCII)
- SQL-like
- XPath/XQuery-like
- Templating -- express results XML
- can re-use XQuery syntax (maybe some implementation?)
