  1. Freely-Available Web Query Languages by Ellen+Spertus · · Score: 5

    For my thesis, I created a Web query system called ParaSite. The best introduction is the paper Squeal: A Structured Query Language for the Web, which I presented at the World-Wide Web Conference. Anybody is welcome to use my code, algorithms, or ideas.

    See also WebSQL and W3QL, which also come from academia.
