===Example===
 +
Suppose you were interested in displaying all of the Centiare articles where a ''Latitude'' attribute between 39 degrees and 40 degrees North has been tagged.  The following example ASK query...
    
<pre>
 
<pre>
Line 9: Line 12:  
</ask>
 
</ask>
 
</pre>
 
</pre>
 +
 +
...produces this report:
    
<ask>
 
<ask>
Line 17: Line 22:  
</ask>
 
</ask>
   −
 
+
<br>
(The above query shows all Centiare articles where a Latitude attribute between 39 degrees and 40 degrees North has been tagged.)

Of course, this is just an example, and ASK queries may be written to be as inclusive or restrictive of qualifying attributes as the author wishes.
