I am about to start a project involving XML documents. In particular there
will need to be rules for searching XML for particular tags and text.
Although I have subscribed for some time, I dont remember that past
correspondence covered anything like that; I believe not.
The job involves verifying whether documents, expressed in XML, conform to
certain standards.
There are a lot of them and they are fussy. Also, they change from time to
time.
It is possible to assert the XML as facts, but in even a modest document,
there could be a lot of facts. Also, some of the implied structure would be
missing, and might need to be otherwise represented. And repeated. Java,
alas, does not support XML directly, but through parsers. Yet the very
attractive JESS features include:
- the rule orientation
- the RETE network
- the simplicity of the language
- the ability to instantiate java classes
All combine to suggest that use of JESS is appropriate if matching can be
worked out.
Therefore, this query is whether anyone knows of or is doing current work
along these lines.
