\\
Data on the Web: From Relations to Semistructured Data and XML (with Serge Abiteboul, Dan Suciu), Morgan Kaufmann 1999. Foundational book on semistructured data, with over 2000 citations.\\
\\
Why and Where: A Characterization of Data Provenance (with Sanjeev Khanna, Wang Chiew Tan). ICDT 2001: 316-330 Introducing the clean and by now standard model of provenance, over 1000 citations.\\
\\
A query language and optimization techniques for unstructured data (with S Davidson, G Hillebrand, D Suciu), SIGMOD Conference 1996: 505-516.  An early paper on semistructured data that made a big influence of\\
formation of the field.\\
\\
