Abstract:
In a computing environment, computer readable code readable by a computer system in said environment, for enabling efficient automated transformation of an input document to account for dynamic factors, comprising:a subprocess for identifying an input document encoded in a well-formed notation, wherein said input document comprises (1) a plurality of elements conforming to a first Document Type Definition (DTD) and (2) a value for at least one of said elements; a subprocess for programmatically determining current values for one or more factors, said factors representing dynamically-changeable information, wherein said factors are not represented by said plurality of elements in said input document; a subprocess for programmatically generating, for each of said factors, an additional element representing said factor and programmatically including said current value of said factor as a value of said additional element; a subprocess for programmatically inserting said additional elements and included values into said input document, thereby creating an output document which does not conform to said first DTD; and a subprocess for programmatically generating a second DTD from said output document, such that said output document does conform to said second DTD.
