TREX: DTD-Conforming XML to XML Transformations

Summary: TREX proposes XTG, a DTD-extended XML Transformation Grammar that embeds queries in element types to extract data from S and construct a DTD-conformant T. Efficient evaluation and optimization yield a practical middleware system—the first systematic method for DTD-conforming XML transformations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
