Automatic transformation of XML namespaces/Analyzing XML

From Wikiversity

Primary nodes play crucial role in analyzing XML, which nodes to feed to the scripts which transform or validate XML.

The primary nodes of an XML document are:

  1. the root element node (Then root element namespace is associated with the primary node.);
  2. element nodes whose parent has a different namespace than their parent (Then the element's namespace is associated with the primary node.);
  3. element nodes which have a namespaced attribute of a different namespace than the element itself. (Then attribute namespace is associated with the primary node.)
