Abstract

In this paper we present XML-GLrec, an extended version of the graphical query language for XML documents XML-GL. XML-GL allows to extract and restructure information from XML specified WWW documents. XML-GLrec also allows to represent XML simple links and generic recursive queries, thus permitting to query whole XML specified WWW sites in a simple and intuitive way.
