SERIAL CONVERSION PROGRAM, SERIAL CONVERSION METHOD, AND SERIAL CONVERSION APPARATUS

摘要

A serial conversion processor (100), in which a conversion unit (150) sequentially applies style sheets stored in a style sheet storage unit (120) to an XML document that simply combines a plurality of XML documents, is so configured as to operate as a single process. The style sheets that comply with merge rules (rules for combining and adding data) and filter rules (rules for deleting and normalizing data) are prepared. The serial conversion processor (100) applies these style sheets in an appropriate order only by prompting the user to select an output format.
