In this session I'll take some O'Reilly book content (encoded in Docbook XML) and show various ways that the content can be repurposed and made to sing and dance online using XQuery. I'll show several code scripts each less than a page long that do something interesting -- like combine chapters from various books to produce a dynamic table of contents or index, extract figures and graphics, perform targetted search, and print on demand. A complete XQuery-backed application will also be demonstrated, based on the new O'Reilly SafariU website that assists university professors in building custom books for students.
