Paper Abstract:
|
Applications that use XML-formatted documents to store and exchange data are ubiquitous. The structure of these XML
documents is usually well defined in XML Schema documents. Rather than first having to create an XML document and
afterwards validate it, it would be feasible to generate a user interface based on an XML Schema document using an
XSLT style sheet that eventually results in a valid XML document. In this paper we describe how XForms can be used
for this purpose. Nevertheless, some interoperatibility conflicts occur during this transformation. They are discussed in
detail in this paper and an extension of the XForms standard that will allow us to overcome these interoperatibility
conflicts is defined. These extensions make it possible to change the structure of an XForms instance document at
runtime and allow us to transform any XML Schema into an XForms web interface. Many applications - both online and
offline - would benefit from this proposed extension. |
