[xsl] RE: [xquery-talk] deduplicating information in XML fil

Hi,

I'm currently trying out a pure XSLT solution.  As an add-on, I'd like to
mention I like where Zorba is going although I did not have the time to use it
yet. I really need to take a closer look once I have time at the
documentation.

Thx for the tip by the way.

Robby

Dear Robby,

Zorba XQuery processor currently supports a data cleaning module (look for
data cleaning in http://www.zorba-xquery.com/html/modules)
that we may want to try.

In principle, the requirements associated to your data de-duplication problem
can be addressed by writing an XQuery program that invokes some of the
functions available in this data cleaning module.

We would appreciate your feedback if you decide to do so and please let us
know if we can help somehow.

Thanks.
Best Regards,
Helena Galhardas
