X-Informatics Homework 6

Due March 13 2002

• Choose an example XML document representing the record of a medical patient. If you successfully produced an XML schema in homework 4, your example may naturally be an XML instance satisfying that schema, but note you will not need the schema for this homework.
• Add a suitable xml-stylesheet processing instruction to your document. You may specify either "text/css" or "text/xsl" for the stylesheet type attribute. Give a relative URL (file name) for the href attribute.
• Write the associated style sheet file.
  • You may use Cascading Style Sheets or a suitable subset of XSLT. In either case the style sheet should allow all the information contained in the patient record to be displayed in a readable format by Internet Explorer 5.
  • You may use a local file URL, like:

    
            file:C:\patienteg.xml
    
    

    to view your XML document with Internet Explorer.
• Examples from the lectures using CSS:
  • Document instance and
  • Stylesheet file
  and XSLT:
  • Document instance and
  • Stylesheet file
  Use View->Source to see XML source of document instances.
• Hand in the example XML document and the style sheet
