You can add all three documents to one collection. Start with creating an empty collection: create coll states and then continue with adding the documents: add workflow.xml add workInProgress.xml add released.xml or do it all in one by calling: basex -c "create coll states; add workflow.xml; add workInProgress.xml; add released.xml". Now you can use XQuery for getting your results. I hope this helps, dont hesitate to ask for more.
