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. Regards, Casper Voortman
