In this paper, we propose a solution of XML graphical querying based on the XQuery language. Our proposal integrates textual, spatial and temporal metadata in order to improve information retrieve and present document suitable to the user’s needs. We, also, propose the extension of the XQuery by new operators in XQuery grammar to facilitate the meta-documents and documents querying enriched by metadata. We validate our proposals in a prototype called GXQuery++.
