Subject: Re: [xsl] Specification of a transform. From: Tommie Usdin <btusdin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2013 17:05:25 -0400 |
In 2007 Wendell Piez and I wrote a conference paper on this topic. "Separating Mapping from Coding in Transformation Tasks". The slides are available at: http://www.mulberrytech.com/papers/MappingTransformations/index.html and there is a sample mapping specification at: http://www.mulberrytech.com/papers/MappingTransformations/dhqmap.html We at Mulberry still use this method. We find that, in general, using this method, the mapping takes about twice as long as the coding. Total development time is less than if the mapping step is "skipped" (because the mapping is never skipped, if the programmer starts writing code immediately the mapping is hidden, but must still be done). -- Tommie On Sep 9, 2013, at 3:42 AM, davep <davep@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Given schema A as input XML.
