Hi Winona,

Thanks for your reply.  My interest comes from using Stylus Studio XML IDE.

SS makes it easy to use WSDL and SOAP.

It seems that REST and JSON are very popular among developers in the library
sphere.  But I recall reading somewhere (metadatalibrarians list?) that the
European Library may include WSDL/SOAP as an alternative method for
harvesters.

I recall (regarding an earlier message in response to the original post)
there
was an interest expressed by European developers in creating a repository of

XSL transforms for sharing.

I wanted to try it for myself however I haven't found much to experiment
with.
SS features a search or browse of UDDI registries but I've not found
XMLMARC,
DC, METS or any of the other metadata types I've been studying.  I have done
a little weather and stock price info collection with XQuery within SS.

How are you using eXist and XQuery?  Are you offering any service thay I
might
experiment with?

regards,
dana
