Hello!

I think one can easily check the result if he/she uses a simple validator for the result and the given target schema.

I have tried with Xerces XML parser mixed with Prolog (SICStus) - I have parsed the XSD and XML, tried to match the tags, etc -, but after some hour work I thought someone perhaps might know an existing application ...

I don't know of anything, and offhand I'd say that any tool which could do this without a user-provided configuration file would need an ESP component. (as in, "reading my mind") ;-)

There were some methods of using DTDs which accomplished something similar. You take the original DTD, add special attributes to each element declaration which described the aliases, run it through an XSLT processor, and out would come the renamed structures. It was called "architectural forms". You can find a (draft) paper by John Cowan on a simplified syntax for arch forms at http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/XML/afng.html ; an XSLT tool which implements part of the standard HyTime arch forms syntax is at http://ats.nist.gov/xsltoolbox/apex.html

I would appriciate any help, thanks in advance,

Is there any way to convert an XML file to another one if
- the source XML file is given
- the target XSD schema is given?
The XSD schema fits to the source file, but have different tag names, etc.
