This document describes XQueryX, an XML representation of the XQuery language. It also provides an XML schema and Document Type Definition (DTD) for the XQuery XML syntax.

XQueryX is designed to be machine-readable to enable standard XML tools to create, read and modify queries. Expected uses of XQueryX include: automatic generation of queries, queries on queries (where queries are queried, and may be transformed into new queries), parser reuse (where one parser may generate XQueryX for multiple systems) and embedding of queries in XML documents.
