Synopsis
OxGarage is a web, and RESTful, service to manage the transformation of documents between a variety of formats. The majority of transformations use the Text Encoding Initiative format as a pivot format.<ref>http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/oxgarage/</ref>
The system understands a variety of input and output formats; see the list of formats for conversion to and from. Some of these use XSLT-based transformations and others are provided by JODConverter: [1].
Features
OxGarage can be used to
- Convert TEI documents to HTML, LaTeX, Word, OpenOffice, and ePub
- Process TEI ODD documents to make schemas or documentation
- Convert Word documents to TEI
- Transform some common XML formats (NLM, P4, Docbook) to or from TEI
- Manage any of the document conversions supported by OpenOffice
A user uploads a document, chooses the target format, OxGarage works out the required transformation steps, performs them, and returns the resulting new document. For example, an ODD document can be turned into ePub by
- expanding the ODD file by merging with the TEI P5 source
- converting the resulting XML to TEI Lite for formatting
- transforming TEI Lite XML to HTML and packaging as ePub
OxGarage takes care of all three stages, the user does not need to know about the middle stage. All transformations using TEI are performed with XSLT 2.0 stylesheets.
The results for some transformations can be tweaked by choosing different output profiles. These are defined on the OxGarage server.
