Re: Data Virtualization

Hi Hank,
welcome to this list.

there are some solutions using REST with XProc I know of. As Christoph said, I showed one of them at XML Prague. It is based on a implementation of  http://expath.org/spec/webapp and com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer. The original implementation of the WebApp specification using XMLCalabash is by Florent Georges is http://servlex.net .

XMLCalabash itself has of course Piperrack, which is a web server for running XProc pipelines. Also based on XMLCalabash is Conal Tuohy project XProc-Z (https://github.com/Conal-Tuohy/XProc-Z).

Looking forward to hear how your project develops.

Greetings from Germany,
Achim
