a visual approach to define xml to fo transformations
XML is the most influential standard for data exchange and Web presentation. The power of XML derives from the fact that the aspects of structuring, representing and visualizing a piece of information are handled independently with specific tools.In this article we deal with the information visualization aspect, which in XML is managed through XSLT transformations, and propose a visual approach to define XML to FO transformations. The approach has been implemented in a graphical environment that eases the definition of the format and visualization of XML documents by means of a graphicalcontent/container metaphor.
