Exploiting Generalization for the Composition of Transformations of XML Schema Based Documents

Abstract. Open exchange of electronic documents in XML formats frequently requires the transformation to different XML-Schemas or DTDs (document type description). We propose a transformation system which eases the tedious production of such transformations, in particular XSLT transformations by composing (available) transformation programs. In this paper we show how the inheritance concepts of XML-Schema can be exploited to increase reuse of existing component transformations.
