RE: XML to XML conversion

2005-01-25 16:22:49
In this case, am I correct in assuming that xml-to-xml conversion is 
neccessary?

Absolutely!

I'm having difficulties finding any resources for this area. 
I understand 
XML and XSL concepts, but there seems to be a grey area over 
XML to XML conversion.

No, it's not a grey area. XML-to-XML conversion is a key application of
XSLT. (There are two important subdivisions: where the vocabulary of the
target document is the same as the source document, and where it is
different.)

It might be true that XML-to-HTML conversion accounts for 75% of the usage
of XSLT, but it's best regarded as a special case.


I'd be most grateful if anyone good point me in the directions of any 
articles or books that may be of use.


Most decent XSLT books should have a range of XML-to-XML examples. My "XSLT
Programmer's Reference" (any edition) discusses the concepts in Chapter 1,
and has many examples scattered through the book.
