XSLT transforming global to local (major version)

["Stephen Green" <stephen_green@seventhproject.co.uk>]

Greetings

 

Here folks is an XSLT 2.0 stylesheet (in directory 'xslt')

which transforms a simplified set of global-style xsd

module schemas into a simplified set of local-style

schemas which validate the same instances as the

global ones (minimal difference in schemaLocation).

 

To try the stylesheet just open it in XML Spy 2005

(e.g. Home Edition which is free) and point the

'XSL' transform button at one of the schemas in the

'MajorGlobal' directory. It should then overwrite the

schemas in the 'MajorLocalAll' directory with the

newly output schemas. (Ignore the messages)

 

These are the major version schema sets. The minor

version will be more of a challenge and I've yet to try

it out.

 

Of course this is just a demo and neither robust nor

particularly generic.

 

All the best

 

Stephen Green
