Explanation |
| XHTML |
Illustrates the conversion of the current XML.Gov home page
to valid XHTML 1.0
and valid CSS 2.0.
|
| XSLT |
Illustrates both server-side and client-side transformations
of XML to HTML using
XSLT stylesheets.
(Example: Meeting participants sorting)
|
| XHTML processed by XSLT |
Illustrates how a page converted to XHTML on the server
can be directly transformed using XSLT (server side)
without any manual XML stage. (Example: Efforts sorting)
|
| Client Sorting: MS |
Illustrates use of Microsoft-specific XML DOM and XSLT features
to enable client-side sorting of a table of data merely by
clicking on the column heading. (Example: XML WG participants data)
|
| Client Sorting: Cross Browser JavaScript |
Illustrates use of JavaScript
to enable client-side sorting of a table of data merely by
clicking on the column heading.

| Client Sorting:
Cross Browser Custom DOM API |
Illustrates use a custom DOM API to do in-place sorting.
Implemented in JavaScript, the API is based on the
DOM standard to achieve cross-browser functionality in modern
browsers (e.g., IE6 and Mozilla/Netscape)

| Sorting of Brainstorming Ideas |
This complete example starts with an HTML table as input,
converts to XHTML, devises a simple XML vocabulary (with DTD) to better describe
the tabular data, converts the XHTML to custom XML using XSLT, and then uses
several XSLT stylesheets to sort the XML data in several ways, displaying the
results as HTML.
|
| SVG |
Illustrates use of lightweight
SVG
for Flash-like animation and interactivity in an XML-based textual markup language.

| Per Diem Rates |
[May 4, 2003]
This demo shows how
DoD Per Diem rate tables
can be easily converted to XML,
how a simple XML Schema can be created to validate per diem data, how the
XML can be displayed in browsers using XSLT stylesheets, and how slight
variations in stylesheets can produce differently sorted tables. (Future
work may show how per diem data can be treated as a Web service.) It also
illustrates both server-side and client-side transformation of XML data.

| Flexible XML-Based Thesaurus Approach for the Federal Government |
 [Jan. to April 2005]
This section illustrates an approach for creating XML-based thesauri/glossaries in the Federal Government.
Some of the design goals and advantages of the approach are:
- Standards-Based - XML element names are based on international standards such as ISO 2788, ISO 704, and ISO 1087.
- Flexible - The Glossary Schema, although initially a strawman to stimulate discussion, is fairly flexible with few required elements, many optional elements, and several repeatable elements.
- Provides a Framework - Since so few elements are required, terms can be added even before definitions are known. These terms act as placeholders that are fully supported by the XSD and XSLT.
- Specialized - Each term may have multiple definitions so that different agencies may use the same term with their own specialized meaning, where necessary.
- Collaborative - Since an XSLT stylesheet is used to sort the terms alphabetically, many individuals can work on their own glossary fragments (XML instances of the Glossary XSD). At any time, the various contributions can be easily merged without manual editing.
- Leverages Links - Search links are automatically generated for each term by means of the XSLT both to help kick-start and to augment the definition.
- Provides a Stepping Stone to the Semantic Web - The XSD is a XML subset of SKOS, which is an RDF vocabulary that complements OWL.
