Final assignment
Modeling of an XML database to store the data of a tour operator.
You should distinguish among different kinds of tourism: cultural tourism, adventure, ecotourims, etc. You should model the various aspects of a tour operator: destinations, activities, tours, clients, guides, etc.
• Describe your modeling choices in natural language. Think about the advantages and disadvantages of your choices and discuss them.
• Write an XML Schema that represents your modeling
• Write a valid XML database against this model, containing a representative extract of the data of some tour operator.
• Imagine 3 different scenarios requiring the visualization of part of this data and write 3 XSL stylesheets to answer them.
• Imagine a 4th scenario requiring the exploitation of part of this data in another XML format and write a stylesheet for this.
• Bonus: Imagine a 5th scenario requiring the exploitation of part of this data in JSON format and write a stylesheet for this.
You will be evaluated according to the quality and richness of your modeling, the scenarios imagined and the quality of your stylesheets (prefer a recursive XSL programming style that extensively uses XPath).
Upload a zip file containing:
• A report of max 4 pages in pdf format presenting:
• your modeling choices behind your XML schema, and the advantages and disadvantages of your choices for the processing of the data
• your XSLT transformations and the use cases they answer
Also precisely indicate in your report your working environment, and the tools or online services you used.
• your source XML file
• your XML Schema file
• your XSLT files containing in comments their description in natural language
• the output of your XSLT transformations
• optional (bonus): the JSON Schema of the 5th output
