Hi Jérôme,
thanks for your input. Following situation: I have two documents in different
xml databases (basex). On the one side a business process model document (bpmn
2.0) and on the other side a requirements specification document. These
documents have to be consistent. One approach to handle consistency is linking
specific elements of both documents with each other. In my approach, i need to
link activities (xml nodes) and specific requirements (xml nodes) with each
other. So the second approach seems to fit best. I understand the syntax of
this approach, but one time I have to evaluate this xpointer expressions. Is
the evaluation implemented anywhere? Or how can I do this?
Maybe I even don't need xinclude, but rather something like this (more similar
to xlink; linking in an external document):
Business process document (xml database in basex):
<Package>
...
<Activity Id="activity-id">
...
</Activity>
...
</Package>
Business process document (xml database in basex):
<Requirements>
...
<Requirement Id="requirement-id">
...
</Requirement>
...
</Requirements >
Linking:
<Links>
<Link> (linking activities with requirements)
<Locator href="requirements-db"
xpointer="element(Activity[@Id=$activity-id])"/> (use xinclude here feels wrong)
<Locator href="bpmn-db" xpointer="element(Requirement[@Id=$requirement-id])"/>
</Link>
</Links>
Is there something similar? Especially to execute xpointer? Or do I have to
implement it on my own?
Thanks for your answers.
Regards.
Florian

Hi Florian,
The XINCLUDE Option is enabled in the default BaseX configuration.
Which kind of xpointer link do you need?
Those 2 inclusion types seems to be well-implemented is the Java XInclude
support (xinclude implementation used in BaseX):
1 - full document inclusion: <xi:include href='myDocument.xml'/>
2 - Fragment inclusion: <xi:include href='myDocument.xml'
xpointer='element(/1/path/to/fragment' />
Hope this helps,
Regards.

Hello,
i am actually writing my master thesis using basex for xml processing. I need
to create consistency links between two xml documents, especially basex
databases and its content. So I am certainly looking for xlink and xpointer
implementations in basex. Are there any examples to do this with basex or if
not, has anyone implemented an xquery version to execute it? I recoginzed that
there are capabilities with xinclude. But I does not find any references of
xinclude in basex, unless this: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Options#XINCLUDE
So has anyone ideas or experiences using xlink and especially xpointer with
basex or xquery?
Regards,
Florian
