  <p>Metacat uses XML for data exchange between the client application and
30
  the server.</p>
31
32
  <p>XSLT is used for transformations for visual presentation (e.g. XML->HTML).
33
  It can also be used to tranlate between different types of heterogeneous XML documents
34
  which are symantically similar.</p>

  <p>Metacat can be set on the fly to either transform or not transform a resultset
39 881 berkley
  from XML.  This is achieved by setting the 'qformat' servlet parameter to the name
40
  of a <a href="metacatread.html">style-set</a> or to 'html'
41 878 berkley
  or 'xml'.  When qformat is set to html, Metacat will transform the resultset based
42 881 berkley
  on the default style-set configured in the
43
  <a href="./properties.html">Metacat Properties</a> file.  This style-set
44 878 berkley
  defines the rules for how to translate the XML tags into HTML tags.
