Hi all, I work for a company with documents in Frame and documents in a home-grown XML publishing system. We now want to share some of our Frame documents between both systems. I have been assigned the task of figuring out how that would work. After printing out the 600+ manaual entitled Structured Application Develper's Guide, I believe I have the general gist of what needs to be done. Since it appears that some of you on this list have a great deal of experience with Structured Frame, I thought I'd run this by you before I submit my findings to my supervisor:
1. Convert the unstructured Frame documents by: a. Creating a conversion table b. Once I apply the conversion table to the unstructured files, I need to manually tweak the document to finish any left over problems. 2. Create an EDD from the existing schema from our XML publishing system. If I have this right, the schema will provide the EDD with the structure for the documents, but then I have to add the formatting portion to the EDD as well as read/write rules for importing/exporting. So, am I on the right track? Am I missing anything? There is one more thing I'm not sure of: Do I need a DTD as well? If so, what is that used for? In case this is important, in our XML publishing system, we have a schema, an XSLT file that sets up the conversion of the XML docs to HTML, and a cascading style sheet.
