Enabling the Distributed Family Tree

This is the official research blog for the Distributed Family Tree, an open network of genealogical data and metadata.  In a nutshell, the big idea is that we can combine all available genealogical information on the Internet into a single distributed network.  The foundation for this network is the substance of the Master's Thesis that I am currently working on.

Repurposing XSLT

by Hilton on Wednesday, March 7, 2007 | 1,038 Views

The GEDCOM import process has gotten even cooler as I’ve now repurposed XSLT.  Instead of transforming “XML” GEDCOM to TriX and then importing the resulting graphs, I’ve written a handful of XSL extension functions in Java which can be called directly from the stylesheet.  XSL now serves as a malleable event-driven mini programming language!  The net result is some esoteric code that fulfills my geek needs, yet no end user will ever notice.  Gotta love it.

    Sounds a lot like all of the programs written in undergraduate study, with a margin of error of 2-5 programs.
