Processing rule e.g. pre-processing rule, generating method for e.g. XML document, involves generating processing rule according to difference between base definition and one of definition versions of document

摘要

The method involves determining a difference i.e. extension difference, between definition versions of document e.g. XML document, and classifying the determined difference. A base definition is obtained based on the determined difference, and a processing rule e.g. pre-processing rule or post processing rule, is generated according to a difference between the base definition and one of the definition versions. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for selecting definition version of XML document (2) a computer program product comprising instructions for implementing a method for selecting definition version of XML document (3) an information storage medium comprising computer program code instructions for executing a method for generating processing rule of XML document (4) a device for generating rule of XML document, comprising a determination unit (5) a device for selecting definition version of XML document, comprising an identification unit.
