Mufasa Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Hi everybody, I'm having an XML exam tomorrow and there are still some points which I don't really understand. Appreciate if you could help me understand... Ok No. 1) Regarding the attached XML-Document: What is the result following Address? //md:annotationBody//md:contents[contains(@id, "1")] or //md:annotationBody//md:contents[contains(@id, "2")] My answer was: delivers each element of md:contents which has a 1 or 2 in its id. But the correct answer is: "true" - because with the 'or' the whole expression becomes a predicate. Can someone please explain this for me? I don't really understand the above explenation. No. 2) What is the result of following XQuery? xquery version "1.0";declare namespace xsi = "...."declare default element namespace "Anootation";element root { for %V1 in doc(*./MADCOW.xml*)//textContent[containts(.,"Annotation")] return element A {%V1/../@id}} The answer is: <root xmlns="Annotation"> <A id="1"/> <A id="2"/> </root> But why?? No. 3) Sketch a transformation which returns following information: name of author (author), Title (title) and last content of text (textContent): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:md="Annotation"> <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <root> <xsl:apply-templates select="//md:metadata/md:author" /> <xsl:apply-templates select="//md:metadata/title" /> <xsl:apply-templates select="//md:textContent[last()]" /> </root> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="md:author" > <autor> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </autor> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="title" > <title> <xsl:value-of select="." /> </title> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="md:textContent" > <content> <xsl:value-of select="." /> </content> </xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> Isn't there a simpler way? I don't really understand what it does in line 8 to 14 I'll add other question when they occur. Thank you in advance for your support.
