Using XML Languages for Modeling and Web-Visualization of Geographical Legacy Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
In our aim to modernize geographical legacy data from the German office of geographical survey with XML languages, we first modeled the data in GML, a standard language for geography markup. The resulting model has then been used as a template for a JAVA application that assembles the necessary information from the legacy data and writes it into a GML document. During the second part of our work we mapped GML with the extensible style-sheet language for transformation (XSLT) into scalable vector graphics (SVG). The resulting SVG graphics share close resemblance to official maps.

Visual Languages: A Matter of Style
This articles submits the thesis that visual data modeling and programming languages are conveniently conceived as rendering, or ‘styling’, of conventional, textual languages. Styling has become a widespread technique with the advent of the Web and of the markup language XML. With XML, application data can be modeled after the application logic regardless of the intended rendering. Rendering of...

With the rapid advance of the Internet, management of structured documents such as XML documents has become more and more important (Marchiori, 1998; Suciu & Vossen, 2000). As a simplified version of SGML, XML is recommended by W3C (World Wide Web Consortium, 1998a) as a document description metalanguage to exchange and manipulate data and documents on the WWW. It has been used to code various ...
