Abstract
XML has been accepted as a universal format for data inter- change and publication. In applications such as web warehousing, data in XML format (XML data) from the web needs to be extracted and in- tegrated. In this paper, we study extracting XML data from XML data sources in XSL. To avoid the complexities in defining templates in XSL, we define a pattern definition language. Extraction patterns can be de- fined in the language without dealing with the procedural phase of the XSL language. A defined pattern can be translated to an XSLT query in an automatic manne using the algorithms that we propose in the paper.
