DESCRIPTION

This module allows Z39.50 Type-1 queries to be arbitrarily rewritten using an XSLT stylesheet to specify the rewrite rules. This can be useful for several purposes, including the provision of index aliases (e.g. BIB-1 access-point 1, personal name, rewritten to access-point 1003, author); and protecting fragile Z39.50 server from attribute combinations that cause them problems.

The Type-1 query is translated into an XML representation, transformed by an XSLT stylesheet whose path is specified in the filter configuration's <xslt> element, then translated back into a Type-1 query.

### Describe the XML representation.

EXAMPLES

A typical configuration looks like this:

   <filter type="query_rewrite">
    <xslt>pqf2pqf.xsl</xslt>
   </filter>
