ISO/IEC TR 22250-1:2002, Information technology – Document description and processing languages – Regular Language Description for XML – Part 1: RELAX Core

Product Description
This Technical Report gives mechanisms for formally specifying the syntax of XML-based languages. For example, the syntax of XHTML 1.0 can be specified in RELAX.Compared with DTDs, RELAX provides the following advantages:Specification in RELAX uses XML instance (i.e., document) syntax,RELAX provides rich datatypes, andRELAX is namespace-aware. The RELAX specification consists of two parts, RELAX Core and RELAX Namespace. This part of the Technical Report gives RELAX Core, which may be used to describe markup languages containing a single XML namespace. Part 2 of this Technical Report gives RELAX Namespace, which may be used to describe markup languages containing more than a single XML namespace, consisting of more than one RELAX Core document.Given a sequence of elements, a software module called the RELAX Core processor compares it against a specification in RELAX Core and reports the result. The RELAX Core processor can be directly invoked by the user, and can also be invoked by another software module called the RELAX Namespace processor.RELAX may be used in conjunction with DTDs. In particular, notations and entities declared by DTDs can be constrained by RELAX.This part of the Technical Report also gives a subset of RELAX Core, which is restricted to DTD features plus datatypes. This subset is very easy to implement, and with the exception of datatype information, conversion between this subset and XML DTDs results in no information loss.

Integration of an XML electronic dictionary with linguistic tools for natural language processing

Product Description
This digital document is a journal article from Information Processing and Management, published by Elsevier in 2007. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
This study proposes the codification of lexical information in electronic dictionaries, in accordance with a generic and extendable XML scheme model, and its conjunction with linguistic tools for the processing of natural language. Our approach is different from other similar studies in that we propose XML coding of those items from a dictionary of meanings that are less related to the lexical units. Linguistic information, such as morphology, syllables, phonology, etc., will be included by means of specific linguistic tools. The use of XML as a container for the information allows the use of other XML tools for carrying out searches or for enabling presentation of the information in different resources. This model is particularly important as it combines two parallel paradigms-extendable labelling of documents and computational linguistics-and it is also applicable to other languages. We have included a comparison with the labelling proposal of printed dictionaries carried out by the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). The proposed design has been validated with a dictionary of more than 145000 accepted meanings.

Crosswalking: Processing MARC in XML Environments with MARC4J

Product Description
This concise book is for library programmers who want to learn to use MARC4J to process bibliographic data. MARC4J is an open source software library for working with MARC, MARCXML and related bibliographic standards in Java. The library is designed to bridge the gap between MARC and XML. Crosswalking provides useful information for both developers learning about MARC4J for the first time and developers returning for reference and more advanced material. The chapters provide many reusable examples, while appendixes provide a reference to the API and the command-line utilities.

Processing XML documents with Oracle JDeveloper 11g

Product Description

Creating, validating, and transforming XML documents with Oracle’s IDE

• Will get the reader developing applications for processing XML in JDeveloper 11g quickly and easily
• Self-contained chapters provide thorough, comprehensive instructions on how to use JDeveloper to create, validate, parse, transform, and compare XML documents.
• The only title to cover XML processing in Oracle JDeveloper 11g, this book includes information on the Oracle XDK 11g APIs.
• Packed with example code and detailed commentary, the book is fully illustrated with functional step-by-step examples.

In Detail

XML is an open standard for creating markup languages and exchanging structured documents and data over the Internet. JDeveloper 11g presents an effective, quick, and easy-to-use means of processing XML documents.

Inspired by the author’s previous XML articles for the Oracle community, this expanded hands-on tutorial guides newcomers and intermediate users through JDeveloper 11g and XML document development. It offers up-to-date information on working with the latest version of JDeveloper, and brand new information on JAXB 2.0 support in JDeveloper 11g. Filled with illustrations, explanatory tables, and comprehensive instructions, this book walks the reader through the wide assortment of JDeveloper’s capabilities.

Oracle’s JDeveloper 11g is an Integrated Development Environment that provides a visual and declarative approach to application development. Over the course of 14 chapters, readers will get hands-on with JDeveloper as the comprehensive and self-contained tutorials provide clear instruction on the key XML tasks that JDeveloper can accomplish.

Filled with practical information and illustrated examples, this book shows the reader how to create, parse, and store XML documents quickly, as well as providing step-by-step instructions on how to construct an XML schema and use the schema to validate an XML document.

Oracle’s XML Developer Kit (XDK) offers a set of components, tools, and utilities for developing XML-based applications, and developers will find the detailed XDK coverage invaluable. Later chapters are given over to using XPath, transforming XML with XSLT, and using the JSTL XML Tag Library.

Moving through the book, a chapter on the JAXB 2.0 API shows you how to bind, marshal and unmarshal XML documents, before we finally delve into comparing XML documents, and converting them into PDF and Excel formats. In all, this book will enable the reader to gain a good and wide-ranging understanding of what JDeveloper has to offer for XML processing.

What you will learn from this book?

• Learn what JDeveloper 11g can do for XML document generation.
• Rapidly create, format, compare, and schema validate XML documents.
• Master the built-in XML features in JDeveloper 11g including schema validation, the XSD Visual Editor for creating an XML schema, the XPath Search tool for selecting XML nodes with XPath, and the JAXB compiler for generating JAXB 2.0 Content Model from an XML Schema.
• See how to work quickly and efficiently with the Oracle XML Developer Kit (XDK 11g)
• Gain a valuable understanding of JAXP, XPath, XSLT, JAXB 2.0, DOM 3.0, and the JSTL XML Tag Library.
• Convert XML to Excel and PDF formats, store XML in Oracle Berkeley DB XML, and create Oracle XML Publisher Reports.

Approach

This book is for newcomer and intermediate Java developers who want to work with XML documents using JDeveloper 11g. No previous knowledge of JDeveloper is assumed but the reader will need to be comfortable in XML and Java environments.

Who this book is written for?

Employing a comprehensive tutorial-based approach, this easy-to-follow book shows the reader various means of processing XML documents using the power of Oracle’s JDeveloper 11g. In next to no time, the reader will be able to create, format, transform, compare, and schema validate XML documents with Oracle’s IDE.
