A HUMAN READABLE FORM OF THE DCC 892 KB

One of the benefits of the Digital Calibration Certificate (DCC, [1] and [2]) as shown by PTB is to have flexible ways to transform the resulting DCC document since it is a digital document. In order to better visualise the content for human beings, or for a transitional period to print an analogue copy of the DCC XML [3] document with sign and seal, a feature for transforming the DCC to a human readable form is needed. We will call this form human readable (HR) (see Fig. 1), and it is an optional part of the DCC. This paper will show how to generate the human readable form of the DCC by using the eXtensible Stylesheet Language (XSLT [4]). In section 1 we will give a short review of the DCC schema (XSD) and describe the structure of an exemplary DCC (XML). In section 2 we will suggest how to generate the human readable of a DCC document. First, we will discuss for which purpose the human readable can be used. Then, we show how the human readable can be generated by using XSLT. Finally, we will give an outlook on future steps and topics to be solved.
