COMPLETED END OF JULY 2012

The stylesheet was realized and is located in the SVN at source:metadata/trunk/toolkit/xslt/cmdi2xhtml.xsl

intro

Some applications (e.g. the VLO) could benefit from an XSLT stylesheet that transforms CMDI instances to HTML. The idea is to create a generic XSLT that addresses this. This can then also be the starting point for some profile-dependent derivatives (if that turns out to be unaivoidable). This XSLT will be used to address ticket 151

other inpsiration

​the VLO, epscially for the ResourceProxy? rendering

example

The output of the XSLT could be as follows (for ​http://www.clarin.eu/cmd/example/example-md-instance.cmdi):

Link part (= ResourceProxyList?)

Resources (= ResourceType == Resource):

 * hdl:1839/00-0000-0000-0009-3C7E-F
 * http://www.clarin.eu/sometext.txt

Metadata subnodes: (= ResourceType == Metadata):

 * http://www.clarin.eu/cmd/example/example-phonological-corpus.cmdi

Metadata part (= Components)

plain HTML rendering of the XML nodes, with indentation:

Example_Profile_Instance

    example-component-texttype>
      TextTypeDescription: print
