Submission request to W3C (W3C Team Comment)
We, W3C member Republica Corp., hereby submit to the Consortium the following specification, comprising the following document attached hereto:
which collectively are referred to as "the submission". We request the submission be known as the “DEL” submission.
Abstract
The submission outlines the Data Extraction Language. DEL is an XML format for describing data conversion processes from other data formats to XML. A DEL script specifies how to locate and extract fragments from input data and where to insert them in the resulting XML format. The DEL processor executing the DEL script can use the extracted data to either create a new XML document or modify an existing XML document by creating new elements and attributes at locations specified with XPath expressions.
