tlooto Summary

The main novelties of the Lorel language are the extensive use of coercion to relieve the user from the strict typing of OQL, which is inappropriate for semistructured data; and powerful path expressions, which permit a flexible form of declarative navigational access and are particularly suitable when the details of the structure are not known to the user.
