This class will introduce participants to the basics of analyzing and manipulating XML data. Using examples in Encoded Archival Description and other XML standards, the course will build foundational navigation skills by discussing XPath, operators, functions, and regular expressions. Participants will learn how to use the same sophisticated expressions in the context of XQuery scripts to build reports and update the XML data.
