I know its probably wrong, but how can I use "so that" or "such that" here? To mean we designed the scheme (such) to facilitate .....

    Sounds wrong. You probably wanted to say "in order to" or just "to".

  • @VictorBazarov "in order to" or "to" indicates our aim of doing it, but doesn't convey how this aim affected the design process. right?

  • I don't pretend to understand the intricacies of XML, XQuery, etc. It is unclear what exactly you are trying to convey. In the paper you propose a scheme. You also propose a tool. The scheme is designed to be used with XQuery. That's how I understand it. Do you want it to be more elaborate?

  • Perhaps, "We designed the scheme to be suitable for using with XQuery for retrieving linguistic data"?

"so" and "and such that" are totally unnecessary here.

Unless you're playing some sort of Buzzword Bingo, that is. In which case:

We designed the scheme so/such that querying linguistic data using XQuery is facilitated.
