'''Xaira''' is an XML Aware Indexing and Retrieval Architecture developed at Oxford University, it was funded by the [Mellon Foundation](/source/Andrew_W._Mellon_Foundation) between 2005 and 2006.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20041030074725/http://drh2004.ncl.ac.uk/abstract.php?abstract=218] Xaira: an XML Aware Indexing and Retrieval Architecture - Lou Burnard</ref> It is based on SARA,<ref>[http://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk/tools/SARA_search.xml] How to search the BNC using SARA</ref> an [SGML](/source/Standard_Generalized_Markup_Language)-aware  text-searching system originally developed for searching the [British National Corpus](/source/British_National_Corpus). Xaira has been redeveloped as a generic [XML](/source/XML) system for constructing query-systems for any kind of XML data, in particular for  use with [TEI](/source/Text_Encoding_Initiative). The current Windows implementation is intended for non-specialist users. A more sophisticated and open-source version is currently under development. This version supports cross-platform working using standards such as [XML-RPC](/source/XML-RPC) and [SOAP](/source/SOAP).
