CXL

Cmap Web Service

Layout Web Service

Client Example

 An XML-based language for describing the content of Cmaps

CXL is defined by the XML Schema cmap.xsd. A sample map can be found here Plants.cxl. When imported into CmapTools it should look like this Plants.jpg.

A simpler sample cmap can be found here PlantsSimple.cxl. When imported into CmapTools it should look like this PlantsSimple.jpg

The structure of a Cmap in XML is the following:

<cmap xmlns="http://cmap.ihmc.us/xml/cmap/"

      xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/"

if-rule (Not Supported by CmapTools)

Attributes

Name XML Schema Type Required Description
condition-check string Yes How to compare the condition-value with the current weight value of the condition node.
The allowed values are as follows: greater-than, less-than, equal-to, greater-than-or-equal-to,
less-than-or-equal-to. Negation is handled by reversing the result-true and result-false values
condition-value decimal Yes The value to be compared with the condition node's weight
result-true decimal Yes The weight to be assigned to the resultant node if the condition is computed to be true
result-false decimal No The weight to be assigned to the resultant node if the condition is computed to be false. If
not specified and the condition is computed to be false then the reslutant's weight is not changed
reverse-nodes boolean No By default the condition node is the node from which the edge originates and the resultant node
is the node to which the edge points. The default value for this attribute is 'false', but if it
is set to 'true', then the condition and resultant nodes reverse roles.
