What is XML?

XML is an acronym that stands for the eXtensible Markup Language.

It is a flexible framework which can be used to create new customizedmarkup languages.

HTML, for example, is a markup language with a fixed tag set.<P> <H1> ….

XML, on the other hand, does not define any particular set of tags. Itallows you to create your own tag set.


What is XML’s primary purpose?

• Separating data from presentation

The range of internet capable devices is growing- WAP phones, pagers, TV sets, web browsers, in car computers, have different presentation requirements.

• Transmitting data between applications

As electronic commerce gathers pace, the amount of data exchanged between organizations is increasing. XML will play a significant role.


What is XSLT?

XSLT stands for eXtensible Style Sheet Language : Transformations

XSLT is an XML language for transforming the structure of an XMLDocument.


What is XSLT’s primary purpose?

• With the widespread adoption of XML languages there will be a need to extract and combine data from one set of XML documents to generate another set of XML documents.

XSLT

• In this presentation we will use XSL to convert XML documents to HTML


XML to HTML using XSLT

(1) The XML document and the associated XSL style sheet mayboth be transferred to the browser.

(2) The server may apply the style sheet to an XML documentand the result may be sent to the client.

(3) The transformation may occur before the data is placed on the server.

Xalan may be used for (2) or (3). IE5 for (1).

XSLT’s Processing Model

Consider the following XML file

<person> <name>Alan</name> <age>19</age> <email>[email protected]</email> </person>

We’ll look at a way to view this tree as a set.


<person> <name>Alan</name> <age>19</age> <email>[email protected] </email> </person>

person

name age

Alan 19

email

alan@

/

This is the normal way an XSLT programmer views the document.


<person> <name>Alan</name> <age>19</age> <email>[email protected]</email> </person>

We can represent this tree as a set.

{person : { name : alan, age : 19, email : [email protected] } }

A tree will be represented as a set of ordered pairs.

mailto:[email protected]


Another example

<biblio> <book> <author> Smith </author> <author> Jones </author> <date> 1976 </date> </book> <book> <author> Bell </author> <date> 1999 </date> </book> <paper> <title> Public key encryption</title> <author> Kensworth </author> </paper></biblio>

{biblio:{ book:{author:Smith,author:Jones,date:1976},

book:{author:Bell,date:1999},

paper:{title:Public key encryption, author:Kensworth}

}

}


XSLT uses Structural Recursion

An XSLT stylesheet can be viewed as a function thatdefines a transformation.

O = S(I)

I is the input document S is the stylesheet O is the output document


An example

f(v) = if isInt(v) then intTwoString(v) else vf({}) = {}f({r : t }) = { r : f(t) }f( t1 union t2 ) = f(t1) union f(t2)

// This program replaces integers with strings.


An example


f({biblio:{ book:{author:Smith, author:Jones, date:1976}, book:{author:Bell,date:1999}, paper:{title:Public key encryption, author:Kensworth} }}) =



= {biblio: f({ book:{author:Smith, author:Jones, date:1976}, book:{author:Bell,date:1999}, paper:{title:Public key encryption, author:Kensworth} } ) }

We have a match

An example


f({ book:{author:Smith, author:Jones, date:1976}, book:{author:Bell,date:1999}, paper:{title:Public key encryption, author:Kensworth} }) =

f({ book:{author:Smith, author:Jones, date:1976}, book:{author:Bell,date:1999} })

union

f({ paper:{title:Public key encryption, author:Kensworth} })

f( t1 union t2 ) = f(t1) union f(t2) We have a match


f(v) = if isInt(v) then intTwoString(v) else v

f({}) = {}

f({r : t }) = { r : f(t) }

f( t1 union t2 ) = f(t1) union f(t2)

We have a match

f({ book:{author:Smith, author:Jones, date:1976}, book:{author:Bell,date:1999} }) =

f( {book :{author:Smith, author:Jones, date:1976}}) unionf( {book:{author:Bell,date:1999}}



f({}) = {}

f({r : t }) = { r : f(t) }


We have a match

f( {book :{author:Smith, author:Jones, date:1976}}) =

{ book : f({author:Smith, author:Jones, date:1976}) }



f({}) = {}

f({r : t }) = { r : f(t) }


We have a match

f({author:Smith, author:Jones, date:1976}) =

f({author:Smith}) union f({author : Jones, date:1976})



f({}) = {}

f({r : t }) = { r : f(t) }


We have a match

f({author:Smith}) = { author : f (Smith) }



f({}) = {}

f({r : t }) = { r : f(t) }


We have a match

{ author : f (Smith) } = { author : Smith }

… and so on …


f({biblio:{ book:{author:Smith, author:Jones, date:1976},

book:{author:Bell,date:1999},

paper:{title:Public key encryption,

author:Kensworth}

}

}) = {biblio:{book:{author:Smith, author:Jones, date:”1976”},

book:{author:Bell,date:”1999”},

paper:{title:Public key encryption,

author:Kensworth}

}

}


An Example From The Financial World (FpML)

FpML (Financial products Markup Language) is a new protocol to enable e-commerce activities in the field of financial derivatives.It is based on XML (Extensible Markup Language), the standardmeta-language for describing data shared between applications.Ultimately, it will allow for the electronic integration of a rangeof services, from electronic trading and confirmations toportfolio specification for risk analysis. All categories of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives will eventually beincorporated into the standard; however, the initial release willfocus on interest rate swaps and Forward Rate Agreements (FRAs).

HomeworkConsider XML document I

<a> <e> <b> <c>1</c> <c>2</c> </b> <a> <c>3</c> </a> </e> </a>

(1) Write an XSLT stylesheet thatgenerates the same documentbut with all element namescapitalized. Use Xalan.

(2) Design a function f = O(I)that defines f(v), f({}) ,f({r : t }) and f( t1 union t2 ) so that I is transformedas described in (1).
