Hi,
What you need to do is transform the content from one
format to the other using a template, and reference the new schema definition
in the destination document. Then you can validate the new instance against the
schema definition just as you would with any other schema derived document. In
the end you would validate the data twice, once against the original schema (To
verify that it is a valid instance) and once against the destination schema (To
verify that it transformed into a valid instance.)
This is a straightforward application of XSLT. If you don't
already have a good XSLT resource (Outside of the specs, which are essential) I
recommend the O'Reilly book, "XSLT: Mastering XML Transformations" by
Doug Tidwell published August, 2001. If you haven't worked with XSLT already it
is worthwhile to note that XSLT is not as simple as XML in general; it is more
akin to a development language than to markup. XSLT is an ideal tool for
manipulating XML, but it requires you to deal with a lot of the concepts
familiar to programming languages such as variables, control flow, conditionals,
etc. The expression syntax used in XSLT is known as XPath.

Subject: [ebxml-dev] XSLT to
convert data
Hi there,
is anyone able to tell
me, if it is possible to use XSLT to convert data from one XML schema, to
another one, e.g. ebXML to cXML?
A reply is greatly
appreciated.
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Florian
