RE: side/side vs. left/right

Hi Stella,

I appreciate the time and effort you are spending learning how to use
Jacc. I think it'll be worth your (and this WG's) time in the long run.

Re: your questions, my answers are below.  I also updated the BLD->XML
(meta-)compiler release on my web page with modified grammar annotations
as per your needs (see the *.grm files). The new zipped bundle is in:
http://wikix.ilog.fr/wiki/pub/Main/HassanAitKaci/ilog.rif.bld-v0.1.zip.

One last remark (and request): as I was (but vainly) trying to explain
yesterday during the telecon, I am currently hard-pressed not having time
on my hands to maintain an obsolete version vs. trying to develop a new
version (with still a few tricky parts remaining to program). Even though
I try to do my best time-sharing among all my activities, this RIF thing
is now taking more time that I can reasonably spare. So, again, I would
like to focus on the new version as soon as possible.

At any rate, the release that I have made (for the previous BLD version)
cannot yet handle namespace declarations such as the 4th one you want
- i.e., xsi:schemaLocation - see comments below). The other things you
needed are simple to do.

Yes. Edit source/BLD.grm and change the rule:

/**
 * Root grammar rule for Basic Logic Dialect (BLD):
 */
RifDocument
  : Group
  { showXml(); }  // show the XML tree
  ;

to the pair of rules:

/**
 * Root grammar rule for Basic Logic Dialect (BLD):
 */
RifDocument
  : OuterDocument
  { showXml(); }  // show the XML tree
  ;

OuterDocument
  : Group
  [ L:"payload" C:(1) ]
  ;

Still in source/BLD.grm, change the 'xmlroot' annotation:

// Define the XML tree root element to be 'rif:document':
%xmlroot "rif" "document"

to:

// Define the XML tree root element to be 'Document':
%xmlroot "Document"

Regarding the 3 first of the 4 namespace declarations that you need,
simply specify the following 'xmlns' annotations in source/BLD.grm:

// Declare the 'rif', 'xsi', and 'xs' XML namespaces:
%xmlns "rif" "http://www.w3.org/2007/rif#"
%xmlns "xsi" "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
%xmlns "xs"  "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#"

As for the 4th one, the released system cannot (yet?) handle those.  As
a matter of fact, I have yet to understand what this is used for. It is
easy to introduce in the next release. For now, sorry - comment it out. 

Note also that relative IRI's are not (yet?)  handled; so the "rif"
namespace declaration above is not the same as the Base pragma of the
current version.

Finally, I also updated the Jacc documentation in the release to also
describe the XML annotation commands (they were missing from the
previous released Jacc doc).

Thanks again, and good luck!

Hi Hassan,

Thanks for this. I was able to make several changes
in the output XML,  but I'm having trouble wrapping the 
outermost  <group> with <payload>. 

 So, instead of :

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <rif:document xmlns:rif="http://www.w3.org/2008/rif">
        <Group>

              .......
 
        </Group>
   </Document>


I would like:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <rif:document xmlns:rif="http://www.w3.org/2008/rif">
   <payload>
      <Group>

           .......
 
      </Group>
   </payload> 
</Document>


Could you tell me how to do this by modifying the .grm files?


Also, I'd like to change:

    <rif:document xmlns:rif="http://www.w3.org/2008/rif">

to

  <Document 
      xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2007/rif#"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#"
      xsi:schemaLocation= "http://www.w3.org/2007/rif# 
http://www.jdrew.org/rif/bld/LC/BLDRule.xsd"> 

For this, I'm not sure how to achieve the 1st and 4th attributes
(default namespace, and schema location)


Thanks,
Stella

side/side vs. left/right







Regarding Harold's and Christian's worry to have an up-to-date XML 
vocabulary
for the RIF->XML compiler I delivered, if you read the provided 
documentation
of the tool that I delivered already, you will realize that can update the 
type
of XML patterns that are generated for the syntax simply by editing the 
file
BLC.grm located in subdirectory sources/. Simply change:

Equal
  : Term EQUAL Term
  [ L:"Equal" C:(side.1 side.3) ]
  ;

to:

Equal
  : Term EQUAL Term
  [ L:"Equal" C:(left.1 right.3) ]
  ;

and recompile (i.e., do "ant all"). That's all. The same for
other changes that you wish can of couse be done.

The *whole point* of my tool is that it allows one to easily change the 
format of
the generate XML. So I am not needed for such changes...
