The relationship of XSLT to XSL is explained, though details of XSL Formatting Object semantics are not included. The objectives of the course are to understand the role and utility of the standard, be introduced to the models upon which the standard is built, and identify available documentation and resources. Attendees are expected to have knowledge of XML concepts and syntax. This presentation reviews a real life example of XML in use. XML allows us to reuse design principles that are equally applicable to the different user segments - information suppliers and information customers.
Flexibility is an essential aspect of current and future web deployment.
We explore the key features demanded by a flexible approach and how XML addresses them. XML supports incremental deployment through its extensibility. XML's extensibility shortens the time and reduces the cost of incremental growth. Building a fully extensible architecture provides a solid foundation for relentless customisation. To be successful, information deployed on the web must be delivered in a way that is responsive to the needs of its market.
