| 20080222517 | Applying Patterns to XSD for Extending Functionality to Both XML and non-XML Data Data Structures - A system and method for transforming an input document in a first format into an output document in a second format extends XSD to work with non-XML data structures and data formats such as EBCDIC through the application of specialized patterns embedded in an XSD document. A communication adapter interprets the patterns and applies them to convert a flat file into an XML document (and vice versa) which can be viewed in a web browser. The system includes: a communication adapter for translating an XML source file into the output document; a network access translation firewall; a load balancer; a web portal; an offline processor for creating ffXSD and XSLT documents; and an input/output subsystem for interacting with an end user, the subsystem comprising a network interface. | 09-11-2008 |
