Subject:Merge Files Author:Scott Renton Date:20 Sep 2010 06:58 AM
Hi folks, very new to XSLT, so please forgive brazen stupidity.
I'm trying to merge two files- one for objects eg
....
<object id="4779">
<accession_no row="1">0007611</accession_no>
<other_id row="1">Or.Ms 114</other_id>
<collection row="1">Ragamala Paintings</collection>
<prod_pri_person_name row="1">Unknown</prod_pri_person_name>
</object>
.....
and one for corresponding technical data eg
.....
<av id="3219">
<caption row="1">Before Conservation, photos taken by Helen Loveday.</caption>
<ref row="1">0007611</ref>
<ref row="2">Or.Ms 114</ref>
<format row="1">Accession No</format>
<format row="2">Shelfmark</format>
<......
</av>
....
There's a 1:1 relationship between these files, but they come from different sources, so I want to be able to merge them into one composite file, for loading into a downstream app.
I wold match this field in object
<accession_no row="1">0007611</accession_no>
to this field in AV
<ref row="1">0007611</ref>
I know that this can be done in XSLT, but I've hit dead ends thus far on getting started. Could anyone point me in the right direction?!
