binding sequence

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

The value of the expression associated with a variable in a for clause is called the binding sequence for that variable.
default order for empty sequences.

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

Default order for empty sequences. This component controls the processing of empty sequences and NaN values as ordering keys in an order by clause in a FLWOR expression, as described in .
empty sequence

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A sequence containing zero items is called an empty sequence.
empty sequence

From XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A sequence containing zero items is called an empty sequence.
initial sequence

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

The sequence to be sorted is referred to as the initial sequence.
sequence

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A sequence is an ordered collection of zero or more items.

sequence

From XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

sequence constructor

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A sequence constructor is a sequence of zero or more sibling nodes in the stylesheet that can be evaluated to return a sequence of nodes and atomic values. The way that the resulting sequence is used depends on the containing instruction.
sequence type

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A sequence type is a type that can be expressed using the SequenceType syntax. Sequence types are used whenever it is necessary to refer to a type in an XQuery expression. The term sequence type suggests that this syntax is used to describe the type of an XQuery value, which is always a sequence.
sequence type

From XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A sequence type is a type that can be expressed using the SequenceType syntax. Sequence types are used whenever it is necessary to refer to a type in an XPath expression. The term sequence type suggests that this syntax is used to describe the type of an XPath value, which is always a sequence.
sequenceType matching

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

During evaluation of an expression, it is sometimes necessary to determine whether a value with a known dynamic type "matches" an expected sequence type. This process is known as SequenceType matching.

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

The sequence after sorting as defined by the xsl:sort elements is referred to as the sorted sequence.
