Method and computer system for separating and processing layout information and data of a document

摘要

Computer-implemented method, computer system and computer program product for separating and processing layout information and data of a document. The computer system providing a predefined document description (120, 130). The document description (120, 130) is decomposed (420) into a layout template (140-1) and a data description (140-2). In a preferred embodiment of the invention decomposition (420) is achieved by using style sheet language transformations. Optionally, the computer system instantiates (460) a data instance (150) from the data description (140-2) and merges (470) the data instance (150) with the layout template (140-1) into an individual document description (160). The individual document description (160) can be rendered by a conventional browser. <IMAGE>
