I presented my ideas on processing XML using XML at Balisage,
earlier this year. While there I actually demo'd converting my Process
XML draft to a FreeMind-based user interface at the MarkLogic-sponsored
demo jam. Well, it wasn't as much a user interface as it was a
representation of the XML that might be used to create a user interface
with, but it was a start and today I've finally taken it a few steps
further.
Um, that's not exactly true either. I've worked on my
Process XML some more during the last few weeks, because I'm using it
for a customer project. What started out as a DTD is now a RelaxNG
compact schema that uses xml:base to ease processing, covers most of the
current Calabash version (1.0.3-94, as I write this), and is actually useful.
But
today I wrote "live" Process XML, XSLT and pipelines that will make it a
reality. The GUI will not happen for some time yet, because there is no
need for one in the current implementation, but it's going to be used
for describing various XML-related processes that include XProc
pipelines on an eXist server handling on-demand publishing.
And it's very cool.
