[xsl] [ANN] Transmorpher 1.0 available

[Jerome.Euzenat@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Jerome Euzenat)]

Transmorpher 1.0

Fluxmedia and INRIA are pleased to announce the availability of 
Transmorpher 1.0.

Transmorpher is a software tool for defining and processing complex 
transformations of XML documents. It can accept external 
transformations (e.g., XSLT stylesheets) and provide a simple 
transformation language offering unit transformations (suppression, 
renaming, regular expression substitutions and query facilities). In 
addition to generating, transforming and serializing XML documents, 
it features constructors like merging, dispatching, querying, 
iterating, and composing transformations. These transformations can 
have several input and output streams. New implementation of these 
constructors can be plugged in Transmorpher. Transmorpher can be used 
as a compiler, an interpreter, a Ant task, a Servlet generator or 
embeded in another program.

Transmorpher 1.0 is written in Java 1.3. It is the first full 
implementation of Transmorpher as presented in [1]. This version does 
not put emphasis on performances that we will consider in ulterior 
version but on functions. Transmorpher takes advantage of external 
resources (XML parsers, XSLT servers, Regular expression substituers 
and many other optionnal components). A graphic user interface, 
FlowComposer(http://www.fluxmedia.fr/flowcomposer/), is under 
development at Fluxmedia.

Transmorpher is available to everyone (sources included) from 
http://transmorpher.inrialpes.fr under the GPL license (other 
licenses possible). Transmorpher is a joint development of the Exmo 
team(http://www.inrialpes.fr/exmo) of INRIA Rhône-Alpes and 
Fluxmedia. Its development is being supported by a ODL grant from 
INRIA.
