Abstract
Various systems, methods, and programs stored in a computer-readable medium to perform a transformation are provided. In one embodiment, a transformation method is provided that comprises the steps of providing a transformation processor, providing a prototype transform and an interpretive transform, and, transforming at least one source document into an output document with the transformation processor by interpreting a number of interpreted instructions in the prototype transform with a number of interpretive instructions from the interpretive transform.
Claims19
A transformation method, comprising:
- providing a transformation processor;
- providing a prototype transform and an interpretive transform;
- and
- transforming at least one source document into an output document with the transformation processor by interpreting a number of interpreted instructions in the prototype transform with a number of interpretive instructions from the interpretive transform.
A computer program embodied in a computer readable medium to perform a transformation, comprising:
- an interpretive transform;
- a prototype transform to be interpreted using the interpretive transform;
- at least one source document associated with the prototype transform;
- a transformation processor;
- and
- code that initiates a transformation of the at least one source document into an output document with the transformation processor, the transformation processor interpreting a number of interpreted instructions in the prototype transform with a number of interpretive instructions from the interpretive transform.
A transformation system, comprising:
- a processor circuit having a processor and a memory;
- and
- transformation logic stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the transformation logic comprising:
- an interpretive transform;
- a prototype transform to be interpreted using the interpretive transform;
- a transformation processor;
- and
- logic that initiates a transformation of at least one source document into an output document with the transformation processor, the transformation processor interpreting a number of interpreted instructions in the prototype transform with a number of interpretive instructions from the interpretive transform, wherein an association is drawn between the at least one source document and the prototype transform.
A transformation system, comprising:
- means for providing a number of interpreted instructions, the interpreted instructions being transformation specific;
- means for providing a number of interpretive instructions, the interpretive instructions being transformation generic;
- and
- means for transforming at least one source document into an output document by interpreting the interpreted instructions with the interpretive instructions with reference to the at least one source document.
