ABSTRACT:
The subject disclosure pertains to interaction with one or more collections of data. Queries and domains are presented as separate entities. A number of compositional operators are provided to manipulate a generic collection of data at a low level. Query comprehensions can specify interactions with one or more collections at a higher or more intuitive level. The query comprehensions can be translated or mapped to operators that can be employed to interact with one or more data collections and return results where applicable.
