Linking XML Documents

[Stephen Gray]

Hi,

What I'm trying to do is produce a number of XML documents that can be
linked together.

For example say I had one document called "valuations.xml" which is a lists
all of the securities/assets for each valuation

and then I have another document called "report.xml" which if loaded into
the parser would also show the detail in the valuations.xml document.

I've had a search and come up with xlink but can't find much "stuff" about
it. Is this the standard for "linking" XML documents together?

Many thanks for any help you can give.

Regards

Steve

Take a look at XInclude, http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude.
And for implementation you can try XInclude.NET project -

Hi Oleg,

Thanks for the fast response. The solution will be pulling in XML documents
on the client machines, I guess using IE5 or above and they will not be
using the .NET Framework ( this is mandatory . .we have no say on this !
:-( ) This isn't rocket science and it would be pretty easy to do it
programmatically but I really want the parser to do the grunt work and also
follow some sort of linking standard.

Thanks again

Regards

Steve

Well, IE5 doesn't support neither XLink nor XInclude nor even XSLT. So your
only option is some custom scripting.
