Method and system for using a generalized execution engine to transform a document written in a markup-based declarative template language into specified output formats

摘要

A method and system for describing information within a structured document, such as an XML document. A declarative description that describes both the location and the format and structure of the information is included in the structured document. This declarative description can be subsequently employed by a transformation engine to extract and transform described information according to a transformation specification.
