Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for composing data queries. In one embodiment, a mapping template is provided to represent data in terms that are easy to understand. The mapping template is used to provide a tree structure made up of nodes that are queried. A query may be composed by navigating the tree structure to select nodes of interest and specifying predicates for the selected nodes. Once the query is composed, it may be executed against the data.
