Yes you are right if this would be an XPATH expression but it is the form
how >I get the query from the user, WITHOUT knowing that <author> is
encapsulated in <authors>.

So that won't help me out.

Assuming  <article> as your scope....
I believe the correct paths would be....

((authors/author='Date' or title='Database Systems') and
../../number='1')

How can I do this query resolving with XSLT?
(I need this for an java xml wrapper, that can submit queries to given
docs
without knowing a lot of their structure)

My query is an boolean expression:
###########################

((author='Date' or title='Database Systems') and number='1')
PROBLEM: 'number' is not part of the same parent as 'author'

My input XML look like this:
######################

<SigmodRecord>
    <issue>
        <volume>12</volume>
        <number>1</number>
        <articles>
            <article>
                <authors>
                    <author>Date</author>
                    <author>Knuth</author>
                <authors>
                <title>Database Systems</title>
            </article>
            <article>
                <authors>
                    <author>Horak</author>
                    <author>Elmasri</author>
                <authors>
                <title>Database Systems</title>
            </article>
            *more articles*
        </articles>
    </issue>
    <issue>
   ...
    </issue>
    *more issues*
</SigmodRecord>

The result doc should have the same structure as the source but filter
out
nodes that don't make sense:

########################################################################
####

<SigmodRecord>
    <issue>
        <volume>12</volume>
        <number>1</number>
        <articles>
            <article>
                <authors>
                    <author>Date</author>
                    <author>Knuth</author>
                <authors>
                <title>Database Systems</title>
            </article>
        </articles>
    </issue>
</SigmodRecord>

It would be great I somebody could help me out. This is part of a
university
project.
Thanks Robert.
