So, to be clear, what you're suggesting is that XSLT is indeed used to generate Solr documents, but that the object being indexed would decide which XSLT was used, by having an explicit link to another object which contains the XSLT as a datastream?
That seems perfectly reasonable to me. I assume, then, that having selected the appropriate XSLT, the XSLT itself would be responsible for (recursively) downloading and traversing any RDF relationships it was interested in? -- Conal Tuohy eResearch Business Analyst Victorian eResearch Strategic Initiative +61-466324297 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
