Unification of Template-Expansion and XML-Validation
share
The processing of XML documents often includes creation and validation. These two operations are typically performed in two different nodes within a computer network that do not correlate with each other. The process of creation is also called instantiation of a template and can be described by filling a template with data from external repositories. Initial access to arbitrary sources can be formulated as an expression of certain command languages like XPath. Filling means copying invariant element nodes to the target document and unfolding variable parts from a given template. Validation is a descision problem returning true if a given XML document satisfies a schema and false otherwise. The main subject is to find a language that unions the template expansion and the validation. [..].
