Summary


I hope this little excursion into the strange world of genealogical data models has given you some flavor of the power of XSLT as a manipulation and reporting tool for complex structured data. We've covered a lot of ground:

  • How to navigate your way around complex linked data within an XML document.

  • Several different ways of generating an interactive view of a large XML data set:

    • Generating lots of static HTML pages in one go at publication time.

    • Generating HTML pages dynamically using either a Java servlet or a Microsoft ASP page.

    • Generating HTML incrementally within the browser.

  • Using XSLT to transform structured data that wasn't originally in XML format.

The worked example in the next chapter will venture into even stranger territory, using XSLT to solve a chess problem. While genealogy has demonstrated how XSLT can be used to process complex data, the chess example will show something of the computational power of the language.
