LiveBlogging: XML 2006: If I had a hammer...

Tuesday, December 05, 2006 — posted by Sarah

According to the keynote speaker (who works at Oracle), the purpose of XQuery and a bunch of technology I've never heard of (FLWOR, XAP) is to convert the web from a collection of documents to a collection of database-driven applications.

You'll have to pardon me if this doesn't make my little heart go pitter-patter. Certainly, there is room for applications on the web, but I fail to see why all content needs to become application-ized.
