RDF /Sparql with XQuery

As part of my learning about RDF, Sparql and the semantic web, I thought I would take the familiar employee/department/salary grade example which I used in the XQuery/SQL comparison as a case study. To this end I wrote two XQuery scripts:

• XML to RDF - a script using a generic function, guided by a map , to translate flat XML tables to RDF and RDFS
  
• Sparql query interface - an XQuery interface to a Joseki Sparql service to allow the user to execute Sparql queries against the emp-dept RDF

This is documented in an article in the wikibook.
