Subject: First Stab at Implementing XPointers From: "W. Eliot Kimber" <eliot@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 02 Apr 1998 09:44:02 -0600 |
All, I've started developing an implementation of XPointer resolution in DSSSL for use with Jade. You can find the alpha source files at "http://www.drmacro.com/hyprlink/xlink/". At this point, all it does is resolve the id() location term, but it does do it across document documents. It uses Jade's built-in HTTP support for URL resolution. I expect to be adding to it over the next several weeks as I work out the algorithms for the other addressing terms. This effort is motivated by the following primary purposes: 1. To create an SDQL definition of the semantics of the different location terms for inclusion the XPointer spec as an informative (if not normative) annex. 2. To help me better understand XPointers 3. To provide a re-usuable resource for others to use in processing XLink documents. The package will be publicly and freely available from ISOGEN once it's sufficiently complete. If anyone would like to help out, I welcome any contributions. In particular, I'm sure that there are more efficient ways to do some of the tokenizing processing I'm doing.
