1. 1 CXML Data CXML is a type of XML format. Users can look at the downloaded CXML data via a web browser. But, if nothing is done, it may not be easy to recognize intuitively in a comprehensive manner. For reading (parsing) and writing XML, there are freely available XML libraries written in various languages –Fortran, C++, C, Python, Perl, Java, Ruby….

2. 2 CXML Data + XSL Style Sheet : A Sample Work Users can look at the “CXML+XSL” data through a web browser, in a same way of looking at “raw” CXML data. It is visually smart and easy to use for quick look. Sample files are enclosed in the CD-ROM; CXML_XSL_Sample\ “Raw” CXML data (CXML_XSL_Sample\CXML_TEPS_20080920120000.xml) CXML + XSL Style Sheet (CXML_XSL_Sample\CXML+XSL_TEPS_20080920120000.xml)

3. 3 XSL Style Sheet for CXML Data For a quick look at CXML data, XSL style sheet is very useful. Please open the sample “CXML+XSL” file via web browser. –To reference the XSL style sheet in the XML file, users need to add the following: –“cxml.xsl” is a user-defined name. Users can automatically convert CXML to other formats (HTML, Text …) using “xsltproc” a Linux/Unix command. –In case users convert input.xml to output.html using cxml.xsl, please type the following command; “xsltproc cxml.xsl input.xml -o output.html”
