Abstract

A method, system, and computer-readable code for translating an input document into an Extensible Markup Language (XML) dialect which is well-formed, such that automated, dynamically-selected transformations (such as those that will indicate a user's current context) can be applied to the document. The new XML dialect indicates dynamically-selected document transformations that are desired. Further, a novel technique is provided for dynamically generating a Document Type Definition (DTD) to describe the new XML dialect, so that the XML document created in this dialect can subsequently be processed by an XML parser. In the preferred embodiment, the desired transformations account for a user's dynamic context, and this information is represented by the dynamically-generated XML dialect.
