Zorba: The Most Complete XQuery Processor

From the homepage:

All Flavors Available

General purpose XQuery processor – written in C++.

Complete family of W3C familly of specifications: XPath, XQuery, Update, Scripting, Full-Text, XSLT, XQueryX, and more.

Pluggable Store

Seamlessly process XML data stored in different places.

Main memory, mobile devices, browsers, disk-based, or cloud-based stores.

Developer Friendly Tools

Benefit from a rich ecosystem of tools.

Eclipse plugins, command-line interface, and debugger.

Rich Module Library

Web mashups, cryptography, image processing, geo projections, emails, data cleaning… there is a module for that.

Runs Everywhere

Available on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.

Bindings available for 6 Programming Languages: C++, C, PHP, Ruby, Java and Python.

Fun & Productive

XQuery unifies development for all tiers; database, content management, application logic, and presentation.

I started to mention this under the Cutting Edge Data Processing with PHP & XQuery post (which uses Zorba) but XQuery is important enough to list it separately.

In the draft Topic Map Tool Chain, I would put this under mining/analysis, but as was pointed out in comments, the mining/analysis phase can be informed by an ontology.

I would say “explicitly” informed by an ontology since there is always some ontology in play, whether explicit or not. (Formal ontologists, note the small “o” in ontology. An explicit ontology would have a name and be written <NAME> Ontology.
