hi,

I have two RDF files (say file1 and file2). I want to insert set of elements in file2 into file1. The requirement is to append a set of elements that I want to insert into file2 after the last element. Given below is a sample of two files. If I explain using them what I want is to insert the set of elements, <Conversiontypes rdf:ID="x"> in file2 after the set of <Transaction rdf:ID="xx"></Transaction> elements in file1. How can I do this?

Thanks,

/Sesath


file1:

<rdf:RDF --goes here>
<Transaction rdf:ID="vi34+vi94">
    <Exchanges rdf:ID="ve107">
           <hasEventTypes>
            <TransferType rdf:ID="vp94">
            <isEventType rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">decrement</isEventType>
        </TransferType>
    </hasEventTypes>
    <hasEventTypes>
        <TransferType rdf:ID="vp29">
            <ActorType rdf:resource="rightUsers"/>
            <isEventType rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">increment</isEventType>
            </TransferType>
        </hasEventTypes>
    </Exchanges>
</Transaction>
<Transaction rdf:ID="vi345+vi945">
    <Exchanges rdf:ID="ve1075">
           <hasEventTypes>
            <TransferType rdf:ID="vp945">
            <isEventType rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">decrement</isEventType>
        </TransferType>
    </hasEventTypes>
    <hasEventTypes>
        <TransferType rdf:ID="vp295">
            <ActorType rdf:resource="rightUsers"/>
            <isEventType rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">increment</isEventType>
            </TransferType>
        </hasEventTypes>
    </Exchanges>
</Transaction>
</rdf:RDF>

file2:

<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
<ConversionType rdf:ID="TransmittingMusicStream">
  <hasTransferedOrConversedResourceType rdf:resource="#MusicStream"/>
  <isEventType rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">decrement</isEventType>
  <hasConversedFeature rdf:resource="OnAir"/>
  <hasActorType rdf:resource="#RightUsers"/>
</ConversionType>
<ConversionType rdf:ID="GettingListenerAttention">
  <hasTransferedOrConversedResourceType rdf:resource="#Attention"/>
  <isEventType rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">increment</isEventType>
  <hasConversedFeature rdf:resource="BeingPopularRadioStation"/>
  <hasActorType rdf:resource="#RightUsers"/>
</ConversionType>
</rdf:RDF>

With file1.xml as the principal input, do

<xsl:template match="/*">
<xsl:copy>
  <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
  <xsl:copy-of select="document('file2.xml')/*/*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Sorry, I should have told you at the first place that the file2 has elements other than <ConversionType> (lets say some other elements such as <TransferType/>,<Transformation/, etc.> ) and I at the same time copy the contents of those elements to the relevant positions in file1. My xslt (actually it is based on the solution you gave me to my previous problem) is below.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" version="1.0">

    <xsl:template match="*">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>







    <xsl:variable name="file2" select="document('E:\Research\PhL Work\Xquery\Mapping\Finals\CompletedMappings\Revis edMappings\Finals_tobe_in_Thesis\Output_OWL_Files\ SecondMapping\TransferTypeDetails2.rdf')"/>



    <xsl:template match="TransferType" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
                                        xmlns:owl="http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#"
                                        xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#">

    <xsl:param name="e_resource_id" select="current()/@rdf:resource"/>
    <xsl:param name="e_transfer_id" select="substring-after($e_resource_id,'#')"/>

            <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
            <xsl:copy-of select="$file2//TransferType[@rdf:ID = $e_transfer_id]/*"/>

    </xsl:template>

                                        xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#">

    <xsl:param name="i_resource_id" select="current()/@rdf:resource"/>
    <xsl:param name="i_transfer_id" select="substring-after($i_resource_id,'#')"/>
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
            <xsl:copy-of select="$file2//TransferType[@rdf:ID = $i_transfer_id]/*"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>


    <xsl:template match="Transformation" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
                                        xmlns:owl="http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#"
                                        xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
            <xsl:copy-of select="$file2//Transformation[@rdf:ID = current()/@rdf:ID]/*"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

In that case, it surely just needs one more template rule:

<xsl:template match="rdf:RDF">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
  <xsl:copy-of select="document('file2.xml')/*/ConversionType"/>
</xsl:template>

Given the code you've already got, I can't quite see why this causes you problems.

Thanks. It works now and I had problems of copying everything under the element <ConversionType> and also pasting it into the proper place (it pasted the child nodes of <ConversionType> at the top of the document). That is first I have put <xsl:apply-templates/> in the wrong place and also selected child elements of the element that I wanted to insert. Thanks once again for the answer.
