... aside from my proposal, I think you won't find much queries like
this in real life since you'd use more robust identifiers (subject
identifiers/locators)

    %prefix onto <http://psi.example.org/onto/>

    select $album
    where onto:is-produced-by(onto:production: $album,
                              onto:producer: onto:tom-waits)

These queries are portable between different topic maps, of course.

Best regards,
Lars
