Krextor
(sidenote: Krextor is a shining example of using XSLTDoc to document XSLT code. I was able to get up and running with XSLTdoc on my own code in about 20 minutes, and now all I want to do is go document my code! But I'll stick to documenting how to use Christoph's Krextor instead.)
I've been writing XSL for almost a decade and have written plenty of it to transform XML to RDF. But every time I do, it seems like a from-scratch repetitive endeavor that is virtually devoid of excitement and reward. Comparing those experiences to the way that I quickly and concisely transform tabular data to RDF (with conversion:Enhancement), there is clearly something missing in the XML case. In the tabular case, I'm finding and expressing the patterns I see and let the converter handle the drudgery. In (my) XML case, I have to act upon any patterns I see by writing the code. I'm hoping that Christoph has found the XML magic that I found for tabular (but couldn't for XML!).
EEEEEEEEEEAK!
Look at this bad idea that escaped into the world:

Not only can RDF help this situation, but so would another flavor of XML! (if you know what I MEEEEE06_17AN) Regardless, we need the Linkable URI instance naming and OWL ontology that RDF gives us. So lets get started!
https://trac.kwarc.info/krextor/ seems to provide the best overview for what Krextor provides.
- Grab the svn
mkdir -p ~/utilities/krextor/svn
cd ~/utilities/krextor/svn
svn co https://svn.kwarc.info/repos/swim/projects/krextor/trunk krextor
- How would I run it?
ShellScript, JavaWrapper, RunViaJAXP
bash-3.2$ krextor
Syntax: krextor IN..OUT FILE
Extracts RDF from the XML document FILE. IN specifies the format of FILE; OUT
specifies the desired RDF serialization.
-h, --help Show this help
Looks like OUT can be rxr, ntriples, turtle, rdf-xml, rdfa, or YOUR OWN. Turtle is cool with me...
Looks like IN can be omdoc, ocd, xhtml-rdfa, or hcalendar -- none of which I care about transforming to RDF. Looks like I can establish my own IN identifier...
An example that uses Milhouse and Bart Simpson! Looks like the interface we get with Krextor is by providing a bucket of our own templates (called an extraction module) in the krextor:main mode, then we have a bucket of XSL templates that we can call (krextor:create-resource, krextor:add-uri-property, krextor:add-literal-property) to assert triples.
https://trac.kwarc.info/krextor/browser/trunk/src/xslt/extract shows all of the Extraction Modules that come with Krextor.
Where do I associate the IN id with my extraction module? Based on https://trac.kwarc.info/krextor/browser/trunk/src/xslt/extract, I'm starting to think IN corresponds directly to the file name. Do I have to put the extraction module into krextor's utilities/krextor/svn/krextor/src/xslt/extract? (yes). Not how I'd like to organize my extraction modules because mine will be highly contextualized, but I'll go with it for now. Perhaps I can get past the krextor.sh and invoke saxon.jar myself.
mkdir -p ~/utilities/krextor/simpsons-eg
cd ~/utilities/krextor/simpsons-eg
Look at the input:
bash-3.2$ cat milhouse.xml
<person friends="https://van-houten.name/milhouse">
<name>Bart Simpson</name>
</person>
Look at the extraction module:
bash-3.2$ cat krextor-extraction-module-for-social-network-xml.xsl

Get "my" extract module to where krextor.sh can see it:

Good to note krextor's namespace:

Triples!

Given all of what just happened, I'm still not ready for https://trac.kwarc.info/krextor/wiki/YourOwnExtraction#GettingStarted...
- Storing extraction templates outside of
svn/krextor/src/xslt/extract
A temporary fix until I can poke into krextor.sh; I need to keep my extraction modules organized elsewhere.
rm ~/utilities/krextor/svn/krextor/src/xslt/extract/krextor-extraction-module-for-social-network-xml.xsl
cd ~/utilities/krextor/simpsons-eg
mv krextor-extraction-module-for-social-network-xml.xsl krextor-extraction-module-for-social-network-xml.krx
ln -s `pwd`/krextor-extraction-module-for-social-network-xml.krx \
~/utilities/krextor/svn/krextor/src/xslt/extract/krextor-extraction-module-for-social-network-xml.xsl
NOTE: I'm going to prepend .krx before the .xsl (or replace it) so I know it is a Krextor Extraction Module. When the stylesheet is not within the context of krextor/src/xslt/extract/, it can no longer be easily recognized as a krextor extraction module.
Back to the (csv2rdf4lod-automation) conversion cockpit with source/Sample_Output_NEMSIS_XML.xml waiting to become RDF.
vi manual/nemsis-v2.2.1.krx
and pasted in contents from https://trac.kwarc.info/krextor/browser/trunk/src/xslt/extract/xml.xsl
ln -s `pwd`/manual/nemsis-v2.2.1.krx ~/utilities/krextor/svn/krextor/src/xslt/extract/nemsis-v2.2.1.xsl
Had to tweak krextor to get my classpath included:
#java -jar ${SAXON_JAR:-$KREXTOR_HOME/lib/saxon/saxon9.jar} -s:$infile -xsl:$transformer
saxon.sh $transformer foo bar $infile
