Hi,

I have the following XML document:

<abc:root xmlns:abc="urn:xyz:abc" xmlns:hij="urn:xyz:def">

	<element1>SomeName</element1>

	<element2>

		<element3>SomeText</element3>

		<hij:element4>

			<someMoreElements/>

		</hij:element4>

	</element2>

</abc:root>

and need to write a schematron assertion testing that the text in element1: SmomeName matches the tag name of element4, without the namespace prefix. The SomeText and element tag name are different in every document.
I figured out that I need to point to the 2nd child of <element2> and probably use the NCName, but I have no idea how to put it all together.
Alternatively, I could point to the sibling of <element3>, which is always the same, but still I don't knoiw how to get the name of <element4>. None of the variants I tried worked so far.

Every help will be appreciated.

Hello,

For the example that you provided You need to create a Schematron something like this:

Code: Select all


<sch:schema xmlns:sch="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" queryBinding="xslt2">

    <sch:pattern>

        <sch:rule context="element1">

            <sch:let name="matchElemName" value="following-sibling::*[1]/child::*[2]/local-name()"/>

            <sch:assert test="text() = $matchElemName">

                The name of the elemnt must be '<sch:value-of select="text()"/>', but is '<sch:value-of select="$matchElemName"/>' 

            </sch:assert>

        </sch:rule>

    </sch:pattern>

</sch:schema>
