Why only one source for flowers?

Maintains easy to follow file structure. Only calling data from one XML source

as opposed to many. It would be more beneficial to keep all

the flower data in one place, instead of many places (many sources).

Keeps the upkeep to only one file, not many.

Make the XSL style sheet do the work, not the XML source.

How this structure works

Very adaptable to the various types of requests that may be needed.

By Price By Name By Type And so on…

Easy to add various types of flower characteristics.

Data Reuse

One schema is used for all the flower types.

One schema is used for the store information.

This keeps the reuse level high while keeping the maintainability low.
