== 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 [ticket:151]

== other inpsiration ==

[http://catalog.clarin.eu/ds/vlo/;jsessionid=93FC552D583F656246ABC8FBFC567C8F?wicket:bookmarkablePage=:eu.clarin.cmdi.vlo.pages.ShowResultPage&fq=collection:MPI+CGN&docId=test-hdl:1839/00-0000-0000-0001-53E3-A 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-text (a href to resourceproxy with HTML anchor)
    example-component-texttype>
      TextTypeDescription: print
       
  example-component-photo 
    description: a suitable textual description of this photo
         
  example-component-actor
     title (English): mister
     title (French): monsieur
     title (Dutch): mijnheer
     firstName: Foo
     lastName: Bar
