Perhaps you are simply looking for a suitable subset of XSLT? I'm not sure
exactly how powerful the mappings in MapForce are, but the simple mappings
are surely equivalent to template rules like
 
<xsl:template match="abc">
  <ABC>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </ABC>
</xsl:template>

Subject: xml schema mapping language



Hello,

I'm searching for a "XML Schema Mapping Language", a language in which one
could express mappings between different XML schemas or different versions
of a schema. I searched for any related term I can imagine, but I found
nothing. 

What this language should be able to express is roughly the same as what can
be done with Altova MapForce, but in a XML notation so that one is able to
generate XSLT Update stylesheets for the instance-documents of the schemas.
I already tried MapForce, but I found no possiblity to save the created
mapping in a XML format.

Is such a "schema mapping language" already available? Where?

Thank you in advance for any insight

Greetings Christoph
