Comparing XML, xsl:normalize-space and schemaTron

Slightly confused about using normalize-space.

If I have the following XML instance document (notice the spaces) :-

<compare>
	<compareWith>   A</compareWith>
	<comparisonValues>
		<value>B</value>
		<value>   A   </value>
		<value>A </value>
	</comparisonValues>
</compare>

and I use this expression :-

normalize-space(/compare/comparisonValues/value[3]) = 
normalize-space(/compare/compareWith)

the result is true.

If I remove [3] it is an error ('too many items')

if I remove normalize-space and [3] from the LHS, the result is false.

and if I remove spaces from the final comparisonValues/value in the XML, the 
result is true

This seems OK (although it would be nice if I *could* use normalize-space on 
all of the nodes returned)

So presumably you are using XPath 2.0. In 1.0, it would simply take the
first node in the node-set.

In 2.0, use /compare/compareWith/normalize-space(.) or

for $c in /compare/compareWith return normalize-space($c)

XSLT 2.0 Tutorial at Zvon


Hello,

  I have just published  a snapshot of XSLT 2.0 tutorial:

http://zvon.org/xxl/XSL-Ref/Tutorials/index.html

 I decided to switch to XSLT 2.0  at XML Prague 2005 when listening to 
Michael Kay: http://www.xmlprague.cz/sessions.html):

It is not a finished material but as it will take many months to finalize 
my vision I hope that with 200+ functional stylesheets and partially 
working indexes it is already a useful resource.

                                 Miloslav Nic

Re: Best Practice for URI construction?

Whichever proves most convenient. If all similar resources that are also 
being encoded fit into the first format, then I'd favour it, but neither 
are wrong per se, so it's really a matter of which causes other 
developers the least hassle.

There is in practice a difference in the default caching behaviour of 
GET operations on the two URIs, a feature of HTTP1.1 for historical 
reasons of URIs with queries frequently being used for operations that 
should really have been POST, PUT or DELETE operations. Best practice is 
to be explicit anyway, so this makes little difference.

Boston, MA can also be identified with the URIs:

http://example.net/sdaflwqensdsdaiwe%20fdsw and 
http://example.net/cityThing.php?id=12321

The latter is not that rare in practice.

Is there any ready subject taxonomy for Semantic Web?


We created one, however it's not satifactory.

I wonder if this work has been done by somebody or some organization else?

Many thanks for your help!

Cheers,

AW: Is there any ready subject taxonomy for Semantic Web?


Dear Collin,

if you are looking for a taxonomy of topics relevant for the Semantic Web
you might want to check the efforts of the Knowledge Web network of
excellence:

  https://wiki-sop.inria.fr/wiki/bin/view/Acacia/KnowledgeWeb

This topic hierarchy is available in OWL as an extension of the SWRC
ontology (Semantic Web for Research Communities):

  http://ontoware.org/projects/swrc
  (the module is called 'swrc-swtopics')

Greetings,
York

RE: [xml-dev] Is there any ready subject taxonomy for Semantic Web?


Clarification: Are you looking for an "upper taxonomy"? (akin to an
upper ontology)

Re: [SPAM] Re: RE: [xml-dev] Is there any ready subject taxonomy for Semantic Web?


Taxonomy is only one part of the Duality "Taxonomy-Meronomy".
The another part must be taken into account as well -

Re: Is there any ready subject taxonomy for Semantic Web?


Dear Collin,
Recently  our company has made publicly available the Unified Standard 
Entity Classification Systems (USECS), which can meet your requirements. 
Based on a Unified Framework Ontology (UFO), the USECS is more fundamental 
and systematic than other alternatives such as CYC, WordNet, and OWL. 
Besides, the unifying scheme encompasses the Web Directories, the knowledge 
references as Britannica's subjects, Webster's Dictionary, and UN 
classifications of industry, products, and services. Thus it permits to 
construct rich semantic web ontologies in any domain of knowledge, practice, 
or business.
Currently the content can be free downloaded from the websites:
http://www.eis.com.cy
http://www.encyclopedic-itelligence.com

All the best in your study,
