A query model for sequence data was introduced in [11] in the form of
subsequence-queries with wildcards and gap-size constraints (swg-queries, for
short). These queries consist of a pattern over an alphabet of variables and
types, as well as a global window size and a number of local gap-size
constraints. We propose two new extensions of swg-queries, which both enrich
the expressive power of swg-queries in different ways: subsequence-queries with
generalised gap-size constraints (swgg-queries, for short) and disjunctive
subsequence-queries (dswg-queries, for short). We discuss a suitable
characterisation of containment, a classical property considered in database
theory, and adapt results concerning the discovery of swg-queries to both,
swgg-queries and dswg-queries
