context item

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

The context item is the item currently being processed. An item is either an atomic value or a node.
context item static type.

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

Context item static type. This component defines the static type of the context item within the scope of a given expression.
context node

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

When the context item is a node, it can also be referred to as the context node.
context position

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

The context position is the position of the context item within the sequence of items currently being processed.
context size

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

The context size is the number of items in the sequence of items currently being processed.
copy-namespaces declaration

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

A copy-namespaces declaration sets the value of copy-namespaces mode in the static context, overriding any implementation-defined default. Copy-namespaces mode controls the namespace bindings that are assigned when an existing element node is copied by an element constructor or document constructor.
copy-namespaces mode.

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

Copy-namespaces mode. This component controls the namespace bindings that are assigned when an existing element node is copied by an element constructor, as described in . Its value consists of two parts: preserve or no-preserve, and inherit or no-inherit.
current dateTime.

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

Current dateTime. This information represents an implementation-dependent point in time during the processing of a query, and includes an explicit timezone. It can be retrieved by the fn:current-dateTime function. If invoked multiple times during the execution of a query, this function always returns the same result.
data model

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

XQuery operates on the abstract, logical structure of an XML document, rather than its surface syntax. This logical structure, known as the data model, is defined in .
data model schema

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

For a given node in an XDM instance, the data model schema is defined as the schema from which the type annotation of that node was derived.
default collation declaration

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

A default collation declaration sets the value of the default collation in the static context, overriding any implementation-defined default.
default collation.

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

Default collation. This identifies one of the collations in statically known collations as the collation to be used by functions and operators for comparing and ordering values of type xs:string and xs:anyURI (and types derived from them) when no explicit collation is specified.
default collection.

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

Default collection. This is the sequence of nodes that would result from calling the fn:collection function with no arguments.
default element/type namespace.

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

Default element/type namespace. This is a namespace URI or "none". The namespace URI, if present, is used for any unprefixed QName appearing in a position where an element or type name is expected.
default function namespace.

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

Default function namespace. This is a namespace URI or "none". The namespace URI, if present, is used for any unprefixed QName appearing in a position where a function name is expected.
default order for empty sequences.

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

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 .
depends

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

A function f1depends on a variable $y or a function f2 if a reference to $y or f2 appears in the body of f1, or if there exists a variable $z or a function f3 such that f1depends on $z or f3 and $z or f3depends on $y or f2.
A variable $xdepends on a variable $y or a function f2 if a reference to $y or f2 appears in the initializing expression of $x, or if there exists a variable $z or a function f3 such that $xdepends on $z or f3 and $z or f3depends on $y or f2.
direct element constructor

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

A direct element constructor is a form of element constructor in which the name of the constructed element is a constant.
directly depends

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

A module M1directly depends on another module M2 (different from M1) if a variable or function declared in M1depends on a variable or function declared in M2.
document order

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23)

Informally, document order is the order in which nodes appear in the XML serialization of a document.
