You'll need to create a xml file with the files in your directory. The way
you create this file depends on your system
One possible file format could be:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<dir>
  <file name="file1.xml"/>
  <file name="file2.xml"/>
  ...
  <file name="fileN.xml"/>
</dir>

Then you'll apply this stylesheet:

<xsl:template match="dir">
 <P>Some discription</P>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="file"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="file">
 <a href="{@name}"><xsl:value-of
select="document(@name)/root/dc:title"/></a><br/>
</xsl:template>

Heach fileX.xml will have the following format:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root xmlns:dc="some namespace definition">
  <dc:title>title</dc:title>
  ...
</root>

Hope this helps you.
