RE: Query for particular use case

Hi Again,

I should have mentioned when I posted this, I'm using Calabash 1.0.0 for my XProc implementations.

In addition to the original example presented in the link I posted in [0], I see that there seems to be no existing implementation for running a custom program within the XML pipeline either in the standard XProc steps, the EXProc proposals, the Calabash Extension steps or indeed the MarkLogic XCC steps. [2]

Has anyone else got a use case driven approach to implementing (at some stage within a pipeline) execution of a custom program, before progressing with more standard XProc steps? The reason I'm hovering over this topic is that it makes it really neat and compact if it can be run within XProc as I may wish to do several executions of different custom programs from within one pipeline, in-between which I would do schema validation.

Again, thanks for any feedback or comments.

Best

Lewis

Subject: Query for particular use case

Hi Everyone,

I found the following use case [0], for running a custom program within the XProc pipeline. Please let me put this into context

I'm currently working with GATE [1] to do a bunch of stuff to XML such as annotate it with domain specific grammars. It would be really really nice if I could runs a series of GATE processing resources within my XProc pipeline, then do something like schema validation and possibly another XSLT before the end of the pipeline... the material seems to be very thin on the ground so I thought I would come over to the dev list to see what the perceptions/current implementations and practice actually are w.r.t running custom programs within the XProc pipeline. I've not been able to find anything on the MarMail archives either.

Additionally I would be really really keen to contribute some documentation to [0] if and when I make some reasonable progress with this.

Thank you very much in advance for any comments/direction.

Lewis
