- XSLTproc
OCLC Research's XSLTProc is a tool for managing and using arbitrary XSLT stylesheets.SchemaTrans crosswalk repository and schema transformation.
Crosswalks in the SchemaTrans repository are initially modeled using METS, a standard for encoding metadata about objects in digital libraries. The resulting records are deposited into an OAI repository that can be searched by human or machine using the SRW/U protocol. SchemaTrans translates XML documents from the specified source to the target by matching the dependencies in the documents against the records in the METS database.NACO Normalization service.
OCLC Research's NACO Normalization Service enables systems to convert names and other text strings to a format more conducive to machine comparison and sorting.
