Description

XML automatic generation system and method

The present invention relates to an XML automatic generation system and method. More specifically, the present invention relates to an XML automatic generation system and method for editing a web form including a predefined or newly defined data entity and generating XML data according to the edit result.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a multipurpose markup language that is recommended for creating other special-purpose markup languages defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). XML is a simplified subset of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), but it can be applied to describing many kinds of data. XML is primarily intended to overcome the limitations of Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) by making it easy to send and receive data between different systems, especially those connected to the Internet.

Since XML can be used by defining new data formats as needed, XML data is widely used as a data transmission / reception platform in B2B collaboration. At this time, in B2B collaboration, although it is often necessary to change the type and type of data transmitted and received, in order to perform the change, XML schema data of the entire B2B collaboration system must be modified to save time and money. There was a lot of problems.

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is simply to create an input form using an HTML editor based on the XML modeling data defining the attributes for each data entity (data entity) to solve the above-mentioned problems And an XML automatic generation system and method for generating an XML data set according to the generated input form.

The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned technical problems, and other technical problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for automatically generating XML according to an aspect of the present invention, including: defining an attribute for a data entity for standard use of a term through a designed tool; Constructing an XML schema of a tree structure using the created data entity; Constructing a web form including the defined data entity using an HTML editor; Generating an XML data set according to the configuration of the web form; Storing the XML data set in storage means of a service server; Distributing the XML data set stored in the storage means to a service user; Transmitting input data for the web form to the service server through a web page according to the distributed XML data set; Generating, by the service server, XML data and XSL data reflecting the input data with reference to XML map data; And the XML and XSL data are stored in the storage means of the service server and transmitted to the terminal of the service user when the service user requests a connection.

According to the present invention as described above, it is possible to eliminate the hassle of programmers to write XML, XLS, XML schema by hand through the XML Editor to improve the program productivity, the general public standardized e-Book, e Manual, Electronic Health Recode (Hospital Chart), Official Documents, Commerce Contracts, e-Catalogue, XML EDI, Knowledge Contents, Regulations, etc. It is easy to create documents.

Advantages and features of the present invention, and methods for achieving them will be apparent with reference to the embodiments described below in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but can be implemented in various forms. The embodiments of the present invention make the posting of the present invention complete and the general knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. It is provided to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the present invention is defined only by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings for a block diagram or a processing flowchart for explaining an XML automatic generation system and method. At this time, it will be understood that the combination of each block of the flowchart illustrations and the flowchart illustrations can be performed by computer program instructions. Since these computer program instructions may be mounted on a processor of a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or other programmable data processing equipment, those instructions executed through the processor of the computer or other programmable data processing equipment may be described in flow chart block (s). It creates a means to perform the functions. These computer program instructions may be stored in a computer usable or computer readable memory that can be directed to a computer or other programmable data processing equipment to implement functionality in a particular manner, and thus the computer usable or computer readable memory. It is also possible for the instructions stored in to produce an article of manufacture containing instruction means for performing the functions described in the flowchart block (s). Computer program instructions may also be mounted on a computer or other programmable data processing equipment, such that a series of operating steps are performed on the computer or other programmable data processing equipment to create a computer-implemented process to generate a computer or other programmable data. Instructions for performing the processing equipment may also provide steps for performing the functions described in the flowchart block (s).

In addition, each block may represent a portion of a module, segment, or code that includes one or more executable instructions for executing a specified logical function (s). It should also be noted that in some alternative implementations, the functions noted in the blocks may occur out of order. For example, the two blocks shown in succession may in fact be executed substantially concurrently, or the blocks may sometimes be executed in the reverse order, depending on the corresponding function.

Hereinafter, a method of automatically generating XML according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The automatic XML generation method according to the present embodiment may be configured with the following operation.

Defining an attribute for the data entity for the standard use of the term through the devised Tool;

Constructing an XML schema of a tree structure using the created data entity;

Constructing a web form including the defined data entity using an HTML editor;

Generating an XML data set according to the configuration of the web form; Storing the XML data set in storage means of a service server;

Distributing the XML data set stored in the storage means to a service user;

Transmitting input data for the web form to the service server through a web page according to the distributed XML data set;

Generating, by the service server, XML data and XSL data reflecting the input data with reference to XML map data; And

The XML and XSL data is stored in the storage means of the service server and is transmitted to the terminal of the service user when the access request of the service user is posted via a web browser.

The XML data set may include XML, JSP, XSL, SCHEMA, MAP file.

Hereinafter, the step of defining an attribute for the data entity will be described in more detail.

This is the procedure to make it easy for users to understand when creating and distributing the xml file by pre-defining the terminology unification and attribute values according to the term when creating the Xml file. For example, if you use SNOMED-CT, a global medical term for the unification of terminology used in hospitals, these terms are composed of data entities and can be used to define the attribute values of these terms. The standardization of these terms and attributes is called XML Model, and it is important information to communicate opinions through xml between related parties through xml by determining tag and attribute of xml.

By defining Attribute in advance, it is easy to implement convenience and accurate communication about terminology. For example, it can be forced by input means such as ComboBox, CheckBox, RadioBox, etc. according to specific term (data entity) characteristics, so that convenience and accuracy according to the input can be pursued.

You can also organize hierarchies between data entities and data entities, and you can organize new data entities into a set of hierarchies. For example, when creating a data entity called customer, if the hierarchy is composed of data entities such as customer name, address, social security number, marital status, etc., the data entity to which the hierarchy belongs can be called when calling the data entity called customer.

Table 1 is an example of attribute values of data entities.

In order to compose the hierarchical structure of Entity, Entity of higher concept is composed. In this case, Entity of higher concept does not contain Attribute and has only the name of Entity. Can be configured. In order to freely create such a hierarchical structure, a tool is provided that can freely create a tree structure using a dropdown method.

When creating the customer information (new entity), the hierarchical structure can be configured as shown in Table 2 by using the entities and attributes such as name, address, social security number, marital status, and driver's license.

The Entity and Attribute information shown in Table 2 will be used when the upper Entity called Customer Information is specified, and the lower Entity will be loaded and used automatically.

Hereinafter, the step of configuring the web form (Web form) will be described in more detail.

The process of creating the input form and form for the user to input. The input form and form is freely designed through the HTML Editor in the WYSIWYG method (What You See Is What You Get). Add the Attribute of the Entity by popping up the XML Attribute of the Entity created in the pop-up screen. If there is no corresponding entity, you can add an instance. The screen is automatically created with the XML Attribute of the entity according to the type of the attribute.

When the screen is completed and saved, the files in Table 3 are automatically created.

The generation of the Xml file and the Schema file may be performed by first creating a new Xml file and Xsd (Schema file) and then creating Xml and Xsd of the tree structure by using the existing entity and attribute information. At this time, we use our Auto Parsing Program which is automated to read various existing entity and attribute information automatically.

Also, by parsing HTML information created in HTML Editor, create temporary file Org file, and automatically generate Jsp and Xsl file using this Org file. Parsing file creation is handled in an automated process.

In addition, Map file is created based on Xsd, that is, Schema information. At this time, if Entity and Attribute information exist, if Map information exists, Map file is created considering the part of repeating part. All this is done automatically by the Auto Parsing Program. An example of creating a map file when a repetitive syntax exists is shown in Table 4.

For example, Table 5 shows an example of creating a map file when elements userInfo1 and etcGroup3 are each repeated.

Hereinafter, the service server generating XML data and XSL data reflecting the input data with reference to the XML map data will be described in detail.

When the data value for the web form is input through the web page according to the distributed XML data set, the values and variables inputted on the screen are collected and transmitted to the service server using the submit button. Xml and Xsl files are automatically created by referring to the Xml values and variables, and stored in the storage means of the service server.

The storage means of the service server includes a cache, a read only memory (ROM), a programmable ROM (PROM), an erasable programmable ROM (EPROM), an electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), and the like. A nonvolatile memory device such as flash memory, a volatile memory device such as random access memory (RAM), and a storage medium such as a hard disk drive may be implemented. Does not.

When transmitting a data value for the web form to the service server, data can be configured as shown in Table 6.

Among the data for the variable list, '※' may be interpreted as a separator that separates between variables. Also, an element value such as // root / comment2 that is not a repetitive statement is simply a path to the root as a variable, and a repetitive statement is 01 (variable level). X (sequence number) in sequence from the first row. Has an increasing variable. For example, the first variable '01 .1: root_userInfor1_userName1 'of the variable list may be determined according to the first sequence number of the first variable level, and the value thereof is 1.

Next, the service server receiving the input data generates an XML file using the input data with reference to a map file. In more detail, the service server reads the template contents of the Map file, copies the variable corresponding to the repeated tag in the case of a variable having a repetitive syntax, replaces the variable with a value, and adds the template contents in the case of a variable that is not a repetitive syntax. Create the XML file in a modified way. The generated xml and xsl files are stored in the storage means of the service server.

The XML automatic generation method according to the present embodiment described above may be performed through the XML automatic generation system according to another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, You will understand. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive.
