Detecting XSLT Rules Affected by Schema Evolution

Published: 08 September 2015 Publication History

Abstract

In general, schemas of XML documents are continuously updated according to changes in the real world. If a schema is updated, then XSLT stylesheets are also affected by the schema update. To maintain the consistencies of XSLT stylesheets with updated schemas, we have to detect the XSLT rules affected by schema updates. However, detecting such XSLT rules manually is a difficult and time-consuming task, since recent DTDs and XSLT stylesheets are becoming more complex and users do not always fully understand the dependencies between XSLT stylesheets and DTDs. In this paper, we consider three subclasses based on unranked tree transducer, and consider an algorithm for detecting XSLT rules affected by a DTD update for the classes.
