casper VoortmanSubject: XML to XML Namespace conversion
Author: casper Voortman
Date: 08 Dec 2008 03:35 AM
I have a question regarding writing an XSLT that converts XML into an XML that uses namespace prefixes in the element names. I have written some XSLT's and call myself fairly proficient in it, but namespaces and prefixes is completely new to me.

I have a sample XML file that looks something like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Article>
    <MetaData>
        <ID>618</ID>
        <Type>Article</Type>
        <Name>Article 1 Title</Name>
        <State>Release</State>
        <RouteTo>Nobody</RouteTo>
        <PlacedOn>Layout 1</PlacedOn>
        <PlacedOnPage>4-6</PlacedOnPage>
        <Size>116179</Size>
        <LengthWords>2525</LengthWords>
        <LengthChars>15892</LengthChars>
        <LengthLines>287</LengthLines>
        <Modified>2008-11-24T14:03:54</Modified>
        <Publication>My Publication</Publication>
        <Issue>Test Issue</Issue>
        <Section>Articles</Section>
        <PublicationId>3</PublicationId>
        <IssueId>65</IssueId>
        <SectionId>14</SectionId>
        <StateId>38</StateId>
        <LockForOffline>false</LockForOffline>
    </MetaData>
</Article>


This XML structure needs to be converted into XML with prefixes. Something like:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:htm="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:pcv="http://prismstandard.org/namespaces/1.2/pcv/"
xmlns:prism="http://prismstandard.org/namespaces/1.2/basic/">
    <rdf:Description>
        <dc:identifier>618</dc:identifier>
        <dc:filetype>Article</dc:filetype>
        <dc:Name>Article 1 Title</dc:Name>
        <dc:State>Release</dc:State>
        <dc:RouteTo>Nobody</dc:RouteTo>
        <prism:PlacedOn>Layout 1</prism:PlacedOn>
        <prism:PlacedOnPage>4-6</prism:PlacedOnPage>
        <dc:Size>116179</dc:Size>
        <dc:LengthWords>2525</dc:LengthWords>
        <dc:LengthChars>15892</dc:LengthChars>
        <dc:LengthLines>287</dc:LengthLines>
        <prism:Modified>2008-11-24T14:03:54</prism:Modified>
        <prism:Publication>My Publication</prism:Publication>
        <dc:Issue>Test Issue</dc:Issue>
        <dc:Section>Articles</dc:Section>
        <dc:PublicationId>3</dc:PublicationId>
        <dc:IssueId>65</dc:IssueId>
        <dc:SectionId>14</dc:SectionId>
        <dc:StateId>38</dc:StateId>
        <dc:LockForOffline>false</dc:LockForOffline>
    </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>


Next to adding the prefixes to the xml, also some elements need to be renamed. I have tried writing an XSLT for it, but i keep having the problem that every element that i define in the XSLT get the xmlns information added to it as an attribute. Also i how can i add al xmlns attribute data to the root element like in the result sample.

The XSLT i tried to write, looks a little like:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
    xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
    xmlns:pcv="http://prismstandard.org/namespaces/1.2/pcv/"
    xmlns:prism="http://prismstandard.org/namespaces/1.2/basic/"
    xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">

    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
   
    <!-- Match 'Article'. -->
    <xsl:template match="Article">
        <!-- Define root element. -->
         <xsl:element name="rdf:RDF">
             <!-- Define description element. -->
             <xsl:element name="rdf:Description">

                 <!-- Define indentifier element. -->
                 <xsl:element name="dc:identifier">
                     
                 </xsl:element>
                 
                 <!-- Define format element. -->
                 <xsl:element name="dc:format">
                     
                 </xsl:element>
                 
                 <!-- Define language element. -->
                 <xsl:element name="dc:language">
                     
                 </xsl:element>
                 
                 <!-- Define page range element. -->
                 <xsl:element name="prism:pageRange">
                     
                 </xsl:element>
             </xsl:element>
         </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Any help would be greatly appreciated, since i looked around these forums and the internet but the only examples i can find always seem to deal with the reverse method.

Regards,

Casper Voortman

Hi Casper,
if you want to create an element inside a specific namespace, you need to add to xsl:element the namespace="..." attribute. Or just write it as a literal <rdf:name xmlns:rdf="...">
