Higher−Order Functions and Structured Datatypes
Michael Benedikt and Huy Vu
Abstract
Recent proposals from the World Wide Web consortium propose adding support for higher-order functions within the XQuery standard. In this work we explore languages adding higher-order features on top of XML and other structured datatypes. We define a higher-order extension for Core XQuery, along with a higher-order algebra over complex values which has the same complexity as the XML-based language. We discuss our language and its relation with proposed extensions to the XQuery standard, study the complexity of evaluation, and briefly discuss our approach to implementing the language.
