Re: Architectural Forms: The Next Generation


small architectural forms
Is it possible to reorder the mapped forms? What if I wanted the date
element to appear after the byline element? I'm assuming that the order of
forms in the map has no effect since they don't match the result document.

I like the idea but it seems that all your map can do is strip and rename.
Wouldn't mapping from one form to another with more complex vocabularies
require more functionality than that?

I'm just a youngin' so AFs are entirely new to me. But it seems that you're
just trying to write a transform but without using XSLT or other procedural
code. Don't get me wrong, I think that'd be great but it doesn't seem to
have the flexibility and power that you get with full XSLT.
