- | ==== Lecture 2: XML and XPath === | ||
- | |||
- | Lecture 2 has introduced XML and XPath in depth. | ||
- | |||
- | **Required reading:** | ||
- | |||
- | * Chapter 2 and chapter 3 (except section 3.6) in the book | ||
- | * The {{:teaching:infoh509:2-xml-xpath.pdf|corresponding slides}}. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Lecture 3: XML Schema Languages: DTDs === | ||
- | Lecture 3 has introduced (1) the motivation behind XML Schema Languages, (2) syntax and | ||
- | semantics of DTDs, and (3) regular expressions. | ||
- | |||
- | See pages 92-113 in the book as well as the {{:teaching:infoh509:3-xml_schemas.pdf|corresponding slides}}. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Lecture 4: XML Schema Languages: XSDs === | ||
- | |||
- | In Lecture 3, we have discussed the limitations of DTDs. Some of these | ||
- | limitations are lifted by XML Schema, whose syntax and semantics were studied during lecture 4. | ||
- | |||
- | See pages 113-158 in the book as well as the | ||
- | {{:teaching:infoh509:4-xml_schemas_part_2.pdf|corresponding slides}}. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Project Assignment 1: XML Schema Definition ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Construct an XML Schema Definition for the information recorded by a | ||
- | bookshop ({{:teaching:infoh509:un_en.pdf|full assignment}}). | ||
- | |||
- | This assignment is to be made in groups of | ||
- | two persons and contributes 2/20 to the overall grade (there are two | ||
- | more assignments to follow, each contributing 2/20). The written exam | ||
- | contributes the remaining 14/20 points. | ||
- | |||
- | See the full assignment for related dealine(s), what the solution should entail, and to whom it should be submitted). | ||
- | |||
- | <note tip>You can use these simple {{:teaching:infoh509:validationtools.zip|validation tools}} (written in Java) to help check if your example documents conform toyour XSD. Unzip the file, and then use either ''java -jar DTDValidator.jar <xmldoc>'' or ''java -jar XSDValidator.jar <schemadoc> <xmldoc>'' to validate. The third jar file contais the source code, should you be interested.</note> | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ==== Lecture 5: Transforming XML documents with XSLT === | ||
- | |||
- | In Lecture 5 we have discussed how XML documents can be transformed | ||
- | into other formats (be it XML or not) using XSLT. See pages 188-239 in | ||
- | the book (**except sections 5.8.5, 5.8.7, 5.8.9, 5.8.10 and 5.11**) and | ||
- | the {{:teaching:infoh509:5-xslt.pdf|corresponding slides}}. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Project Assignment 2: XSLT ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Write a single XSLT 2.0 stylesheet that generates, starting from the | ||
- | dblp-excerpt.xml file, a number of HTML files that together | ||
- | collectively emulates part of the DBLP website. Read the | ||
- | {{:teaching:infoh509:deux_en.pdf|full assignment}}, and download the | ||
- | corresponding {{:teaching:infoh509:deux_xslt_data.zip|support files}}. | ||
- | |||
- | This assignment is to be made in groups of | ||
- | two persons and contributes 2/20 to the overall grade (there are two | ||
- | more assignments to follow, each contributing 2/20). The written exam | ||
- | contributes the remaining 14/20 points. | ||
- | |||
- | See the full assignment for related dealine(s), what the solution should entail, and to whom it should be submitted). | ||
- | |||
- | <note tip>The zip file above contains a XSLT transformation tool. You can use ''java -jar xslt-tool.jar <xslt-file> <inputfile> <outputfile>'' to run it. </note> | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Lecture 6: Querying XML documents with XQuery === | ||
- | |||
- | In Lecture 6 we have discussed how XML documents can be queried and transformed into other formats (be it XML or not) using XQuery. See pages 240-2840 in the book (**except sections 6.7.5, 6.8, 6.9**) and | ||
- | the {{:teaching:infoh509:6-xquery.pdf|corresponding slides}}. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Project Assignment 3: XQuery ==== | ||
- | |||
- | You are requested to write XQuery programs for several queries against | ||
- | the DBLP bibliographical database introduced in Project Assignment | ||
- | 2. Read the | ||
- | {{:teaching:infoh509:trois_en.pdf|full assignment}}, and download the | ||
- | corresponding {{:teaching:infoh509:trois_xquery_data.zip|support files}}. | ||
- | |||
- | This assignment is to be made in groups of | ||
- | two persons and contributes 2/20 to the overall grade (there are two | ||
- | more assignments to follow, each contributing 2/20). The written exam | ||
- | contributes the remaining 14/20 points. | ||
- | |||
- | See the full assignment for related dealine(s), what the solution should entail, and to whom it should be submitted). | ||
