商品描述

XQuery is the best language for querying, manipulating, and transforming XML and JSON documents. Because XML is in many ways the lingua franca of the digital humanities, learning XQuery empowers humanists to discover and analyze their data in new ways.

Until now, though, XQuery has been difficult to learn because there was no textbook designed for non- or beginner programmers. XQuery for Humanists fills this void with an approachable guidebook aimed directly at digital humanists.

Clifford B. Anderson and Joseph C. Wicentowski introduce XQuery in terms accessible to humanities scholars and do not presuppose any prior background in programming. It provides an informed, opinionated overview and recommends the best implementations, libraries, and paradigms to empower those who need it most. Emphasizing practical applicability, the authors go beyond the XQuery language to include the basics of underlying standards like XPath, related standards like XQuery Full Text and XQuery Update, and explain the difference between XQuery and languages like Python and R. This book will afford readers the skills they need to build and analyze large-scale documentary corpora in XML.

XQuery for Humanists is immeasurably valuable to instructors of digital humanities and library science courses alike and likewise is a ready reference for faculty, graduate students, and librarians who seek to master XQuery for their projects.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

XQuery 是查詢、操作和轉換 XML 和 JSON 文件的最佳語言。由於 XML 在許多方面是數位人文學科的通用語言，學習 XQuery 使人文學者能夠以新的方式發現和分析他們的數據。

然而，直到現在，XQuery 的學習一直很困難，因為沒有針對非程式設計師或初學者的教科書。XQuery for Humanists 填補了這一空白，提供了一本直接面向數位人文學者的易懂指南。

Clifford B. Anderson 和 Joseph C. Wicentowski 以人文學者能夠理解的方式介紹 XQuery，並不假設讀者具備任何程式設計的背景。這本書提供了有見地且具主觀性的概述，並推薦最佳的實作、庫和範式，以幫助最需要的人。作者強調實用性，超越 XQuery 語言，涵蓋了基礎標準如 XPath、相關標準如 XQuery Full Text 和 XQuery Update，並解釋 XQuery 與 Python 和 R 等語言之間的區別。這本書將使讀者具備構建和分析大型 XML 文檔語料庫所需的技能。

XQuery for Humanists 對於數位人文學科和圖書館學課程的教師來說是無價的，同樣也是希望掌握 XQuery 以應用於其項目的教職員、研究生和圖書館員的隨手參考資料。
