Passive Media: Text - a representation useful to people
Following is a transformation of the information produced by the Kinship Editor to a collated textual form similar to what a anthropologist might normally produce for reference. This example was done using a program we developed to transform XML documents into other formats. This program used the rather forbidding looking script that follows to transform the Sample Output document into the text document further down this page. The next section is: Active Media: Prolog
