It looks like something that can be done well with xslt.  But before you
get going with xslt, you need to work out the following -

1) The design of the resulting html.
2) Where the documents you want to use for lookup are located and what
their design is.
3) Make your xml input well-formed, which your example is not
(attributes are not quoted).

Once you get reasonably clear about the above, it should not be hard to
work out the stylesheet.

As for how to do the lookups and how to use the document() function
(which you will probably be using to bring in the looked-up material),
there is plenty of information in the standard xslt FAQs as well as the
archives of this list.
