The transform element
A transform element nominates a set of input data elements to which its contained set of transformations
apply.
<transform
Properties:
desc="cdata"
ref="cdata"

[0..1]
<ifEmpty>

[0..1]
</transform>
The transform element is used within the following other elements:
data
Multiple
transform
elements can overlap in their effects. This happens when multiple
transform
elements have the same value for "ref". It also happens when one
transform
causes a node to be
renamed, whereupon the new name matches the value of the
ref
attribute of another
transform
. The
effect of such overlaps is sensitive to the order of the
transform
elements in the configuration
document. The interaction of
transform
elements is described at length in
Extended Mapping Rules.
Note that, as specified in Extended Mapping Rules, it is
not recommended
to configure multiple
transform
elements with the same value for "ref".
This option takes effect during the data-load phase. Some option settings also affect the data-unload
phase.
