Hi I have just started to learn XQuery.
I am having trouble when I try to extract sentences from a paragraph
and when I try to count the number of words in a paragraph.
I am trying to do these things on a wikipedia xml source page.
Could anyone please help me.
Sorry if it seems very basic to some people.
Hi “P”
Could you give a bit more info on the XML document that you’re doing the query on ?

Sure
All the articles that is seen on a wikipedia page is written inside paragraph or
tags.
Each wikipedia source page is the same, so if you look at any of them you will get a clearer view of what i’m talkin about.
Hope that helps.
Hi P
So what you’re looking for is a way of parsing the “free text” within the
tags in the wikipedia articles into words ?
Is this some sort of linguistic study with a free corpus from Wikipedia ?
I’m not sure xquery is the optimal tool for this analysis - at least I haven’t see any xquery examples regarding this parsing into words.
But I guess it can be implemented with userdefined functions, or perhaps more effectively by a Tamino server-extension function.
