Refining the Taxonomy of XML Schema Languages. A new Approach for Categorizing XML Schema Languages in Terms of Processing Complexity.

Complexity is an interdisciplinary program publishing the best research and academiclevel teaching on both fundamental and applied aspects of complex systems-cutting across all traditional disciplines of the natural and life sciences, engineering, economics, medicine, neuroscience, social and computer science.Complex Systems are systems that comprise many interacting parts with the ability to generate a new quality of macroscopic collective behavior the manifestations of which are the spontaneous formation of distinctive temporal, spatial or functional structures. Models of such systems can be successfully mapped onto quite diverse "real-life" situations like the climate, the coherent emission of light from lasers, chemical reaction-diffusion systems, biological cellular networks, the dynamics of stock markets and of the internet, earthquake statistics and prediction, freeway traffic, the human brain, or the formation of opinions in social systems, to name just some of the popular applications.Although their scope and methodologies overlap somewhat, one can distinguish the following main concepts and tools: self-organization, nonlinear dynamics, synergetics, turbulence, dynamical systems, catastrophes, instabilities, stochastic processes, chaos, graphs and networks, cellular automata, adaptive systems, genetic algorithms and computational intelligence.The three major book publication platforms of the Springer Complexity program are the monograph series "Understanding Complex Systems" focusing on the various applications of complexity, and the "Springer Series in Synergetics", which is devoted to the quantitative theoretical and methodological foundations, and the "SpringerBriefs in Complexity" which are concise and topical working reports, case-studies, surveys, essays and lecture notes of relevance to the field. In addition to the books in these two core series, the program also incorporates individual titles ranging from textbooks to major reference works.Future scientific and technological developments in many fields will necessarily depend upon coming to grips with complex systems. Such systems are complex in both their composition-typically many different kinds of components interacting simultaneously and nonlinearly with each other and their environments on multiple levels-and in the rich diversity of behavior of which they are capable.The Springer Series in Understanding Complex Systems series (UCS) promotes new strategies and paradigms for understanding and realizing applications of complex systems research in a wide variety of fields and endeavors. UCS is explicitly transdisciplinary. It has three main goals: First, to elaborate the concepts, methods and tools of complex systems at all levels of description and in all scientific fields, especially newly emerging areas within the life, social, behavioral, economic, neuro-and cognitive sciences (and derivatives thereof); second, to encourage novel applications of these ideas in various fields of engineering and computation such as robotics, nano-technology...

“…As such it is a meta markup language that uses a generic annotation format and XML namespaces in combination with a standoff approach to support overlapping hierarchies. XStandoff's data model is that of a GODDAG (general ordered-descendant directed acyclic graph) and supports discontinuous elements, multiple parenthood and differentiation between dominance and containment (see [Stührenberg and Jettka, 2009] and [Stührenberg and Wurm, 2010] for further details) as well as a differentiation between level and layer (see Section 3.4).…”

“…Quo vadis XML? expressive power by using a taxonomy (see [Murata et al 2005] and [Stührenberg and Wurm, 2010]). The current version of XML Schema, 1.1, supports Schematronlike assertions, introducing a feature that was formerly reserved for rule-based constraint languages.…”

For all too many developers, documentation comes last. The move from Subversion to Git provided the impetus to rethink storage of both code and documentation. It also provided an opportunity to use XSLT to harvest input for documentation from the code itself: XProc pipelines, XSLT transforms, XML Catalogs, and other sources. The process also allows the integration of human-generated documentation, such as tutorials written in DocBook. Final documentation is generated by more XSLT, which generates HTML pages which are committed with the source code to the GitHub repository.

In pursuit of streamable stylesheet functions in XSLT 3.0

With the XSLT Working Draft being in Last Call since December 2013 and the XSL Working Group working hard to get the latest bugs fixed, it is only a matter of time that the XSLT 3.0 Draft becomes a Candidate Recommendation, locked for changes and suitable for implementors to adopt. One of the bugs the Working Group received was about the inability to create stylesheet functions that take streamable nodes as an argument. The group considered the omission and decided to ask me to write up a proposal. We discussed several iterations of the proposal until recently it was adopted and added to the internal Working Draft. This paper investigates the ways in which stylesheet functions can be made streamable and why it is such a complex to task to make them so. It summarizes the rules that have been adopted so far according to the public bug entry and shows the possibilities it gives for stylesheet and package authors. While the impact on the specification is minimal, the impact for authors of packages and stylesheet authors in general is potentially big and opens up a whole world of new possibilities in streaming.

Refining the Taxonomy of XML Schema Languages. A new Approach for Categorizing XML Schema Languages in Terms of Processing Complexity.

Abstract: This paper presents a refined taxonomy of XML schema languages based on the work by Murata et al., 2005. It can be seen as first building block for a more elaborate formal analysis of XML and its accompanied specifications, in this case: XML schema languages such as DTD, XSD and RELAX NG.
