It sounds like your requirements are for "data" XML rather than the
traditional "document" XML.

A good start is Elliotte Rusty Harold's "XML in a Nutshell" (O'Reilly,
2004), ISBN 0-596-00764-7; perhaps followed by Seán McGrath's "XML by
Example: Building E-Commerce Applications".

For accessing values and doing queries, learn XPath, XSLT2, and XQuery:
see "Beginning XSLT 2.0" by Jeni Tennison (Apress, 2005) and "XQuery" by
Priscilla Walmsley (O'Reilly, 2006)
