查询不符合XML的结构化数据

时间:2018-09-27 16:00:59

标签: sql-server xml xml-parsing xquery sgml

作为数据分析师,我经常使用结构化数据处理文件,这些结构化数据采用某种专有格式,并且无法进行常规的XML解析。

例如,我有一个大约一百个文档的档案,所有文档都以此开头:

<!DOCTYPE DOCUMENT PUBLIC "-//Gale Research//DTD Document V2.0//EN">

我在下面提供了该文档的简短示例,如果您因克隆而得罪,请不要阅读。

有没有办法在没有DTD或名称空间或URI或我需要的任何东西的情况下进行查询?我可以使用SQL Server 2012+或xquery,或者我不知道是php还是vba。

<para>A clone is an identical copy of a plant or animal, produced from the genetic material of a single organism. In 1996 scientists in Britain created a sheep named Dolly, the first successful clone of an adult mammal. Since then, scientists have successfully cloned other animals, such as goats, mice, pigs, and rabbits. People began wondering if human beings would be next. The question of whether human cloning should be allowed, and under what conditions, raises a number of challenging scientific, legal, and ethical issues&#x2014;including what it means to be human.</para>

<head n="1">Scientific Background</head>
<para>People have been cloning plants for thousands of years. Some plants produce offspring without any genetic material from another organism. In these cases, cloning simply requires cutting pieces of the stems, roots, or leaves of the plants and then planting the cuttings. The cuttings will grow into identical copies of the originals. Many common fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants are produced in this way from parent plants with especially desirable characteristics.</para>

<para>&#91;lots of excluded text&#93; Perhaps the most perplexing question of all: How would clones feel about their status? As a copy, would they lack the sense of uniqueness that is part of the human condition? As yet, such questions have no answers&#x2014;perhaps they never will. The debate about cloning, both animal and human, however, will certainly continue. The technology exists to create clones. How will society use this technology?</para>

答案 0 :(得分:1)

您的SGML输入数据几乎是 XML,但事实是,与完整的SGML不同,XML始终需要系统标识符(文件名或URL)。外部DTD子集,而不仅仅是诸如-//Gale Research//DTD Document V2.0//EN之类的公共标识符。因此DOCTYPE声明必须采用XML格式

<!DOCTYPE DOCUMENT
  PUBLIC "-//Gale Research//DTD Document V2.0//EN"
         "test.dtd">

我在其中添加了"test.dtd"作为外部子集的系统标识符/文件名。当然,现在test.dtd文件必须存在。在工作目录中创建一个空的test.dtd文件就足够了,或者test.dtd可以包含一些有意义的声明,例如以下标记:

<!ELEMENT document ANY>
<!ELEMENT galedata ANY>
<!ELEMENT project ANY>
<!ELEMENT projectname ANY>
<!ELEMENT title ANY>
<!ELEMENT doc.head ANY>
<!ELEMENT doc.body ANY>
<!ELEMENT para ANY>
<!ELEMENT head ANY>
<!ATTLIST document synfileid CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST head n NUMBER #IMPLIED>

但是,正如您所发现的,您还可以通过删除DOCTYPE行来使XML工具满意。

现在,如果您想将文件处理为XML而无需手动编辑,则可以使用SGML将文件预处理为兼容的XML,然后对生成的XML使用XML查询工具。

要使用OpenSP / OpenJade SGML软件包(可以通过sudo apt-get install opensp安装在Ubuntu上)来执行此操作,您将在目录中放置一个catalog文件,其中包含以下告诉SGML的行将公共标识符-//Gale Research//DTD Document V2.0//EN解析为test.dtd

PUBLIC "-//Gale Research//DTD Document V2.0//EN" "test.dtd"

您可以从我上面给出的XML版本中编辑test.dtd,以包含标记遗漏指示器,默认情况下,这是经典SGML所必需的。但是您的测试数据还有另一个功能,该功能在OpenSP工具中默认情况下未启用,即在示例数据中支持十六进制字符实体引用,例如&#x2014;。因此,无论如何,我们都将需要使用自定义SGML声明(有些陈旧的纯文本,用于指定文档正在使用的SGML功能)。因此,在使用它的同时,我们还将在SGML声明中声明FEATURES MINIMIZE OMITTAG NO,这使SGML接受没有标签省略指示符的元素声明,因此我们不必从XML版本更改test.dtd

我们可以将SGML声明直接放在文档本身中,但要避免手动编辑。我们将对SGML声明使用目录解析。如果将以下行添加到catalog文件中

SGMLDECL "xml10-sgmldecl.dcl"

然后,OpenSP将使用xml10-sgmldecl.dcl中存储的任何内容作为SGML声明。我们将使用的实际SGML是XML 1.0的正式SGML声明(具有我们已经想要的所有功能)。您无需详细了解SGML声明的含义。只需将下面附带的文本粘贴到名为xml10-sgmldecl.dcl的文件中即可;如果您对这些细节感兴趣,请在http://sgmljs.net/docs/sgmlrefman.html#sgml-declaration上查看我的描述。

现在您可以调用

osx <your-file>

从您的SGML生成XML,而不会出错。
