1. A system useable for managing data over a network, comprising:
- a retrieval component that is configured to retrieve data using a database-like structured syntax language query, wherein the retrieved data is retrieved from at least one data source indicated in the query;
a transformer component that is configured to transform at least a portion of the retrieved data from a first Internet Media Type (IMT) to a second IMT by transforming the retrieved data from the first IMT into at least one other IMT before transforming the received data into the second IMT using an automatically generated sequence of transformations between different IMTs; and
a normalizer component that is configured to validate that the transformed data is in an application specific format consistent with a query clause in the query.

Abstract
A device, system, and method are directed towards enabling a user to employ a set of database-like structured query expressions to manage data retrieval over a network, and the transformation and/or normalization of the data. In one embodiment, the retrieval expressions are configured as database-like structured query commands that may be performed upon at least a non-database arrangement of content over the network. In one embodiment, retrieved data is converted to at least one format intermediate to a first and second format in a sequence of transformations.

8. A computer readable storage medium encoded with instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform actions for retrieving data, comprising:
-
retrieving data using a database-like structured syntax language query, wherein the retrieved data is retrieved from at least one data source indicated in the query; transforming at least a portion of the retrieved data from a first Internet Media Type (IMT) to a second IMT by transforming the retrieved data from the first IMT into at least one other IMT before transforming the received data into the second IMT using an automatically generated sequence of transformations between different IMTs; and validating that the transformed data is in an application specific format consistent with a query clause in the query. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A network device for retrieving data, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory storing data that when executed by the processor performs actions, comprising; retrieving data using a database-like structured syntax language query, wherein the retrieved data is retrieved from at least one data source indicated in the query; transforming at least a portion of the retrieved data from a first Internet Media Type (IMT) to a second IMT by transforming the retrieved data from the first IMT into at least one other IMT before transforming the received data into the second IMT using an automatically generated sequence of transformations between different IMTs; and validating that the transformed data is in an application specific format consistent with a query clause in the query. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
