• So far most of our examples fall into one of these functions:
  • Changing XML documents to another XML form, mostly XHTML
  • Removing unwanted information
  • Sorting and reorganising the information
• Other major uses include:
  • Splitting into multiple documents (these slides, for example)
  • Translating from XML to some other form (RTF, PDF)
  • Converting between attributes and elements
  • Up Conversion: taking existing content and adding additional XML structure
    • Legacy data to be brought into XML
    • Temporarily adding structure to make a task easier
    • Putting two different structures together
