Abstract
Mere storage of personal data in state-of-the-art filesystems is a markedly well done job in current operating systems. Convenient access to and information retrieval from such data, however, is crucial to leverage the stored information. Thereby database style query languages can be of great use. We demonstrate a user level filesystem implementation that is built on recent semi-structured database storage techniques. As such, it serves as a storage layer for the BaseX XQuery processor and, while it appears to the operating system as a conventional filesystem, a large part of its content can be queried using XPath/XQuery.
