Subject: RE: Structured metadata within XSLT? From: Ed Staub <estaub@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 16:24:42 -0500 |
The metadata should be ignored by the XSLT processor - I don't want it emitted into the output stream whenever the template is run. Finding a way to express metadata is easy - it's finding one which is coherent with XSLT that's hard. -Ed -----Original Message----- From: Francis Norton [mailto:francis@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 13, 2000 12:51 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Structured metadata within XSLT?

As I understand it RDF allows you to create and embed metadata as a structure of resource-property-value links, where in this case the resources could be XSLT stylesheets and templates, the properties could be parameter and return types, and the values XML Schemas and simple types. Assuming that this is powerful enought to describe your required info, the permitted and "understood" links could then be formalised using the related RDF Schema technology.
