Hi,
Today I have been experimenting with ways to generate an EPF project from
external content, such as external XHTML or XML files.
I have written two XSLTs, one to generate the Library.xmi and one for the
Plugin.xmi. Appropriate xmi:ids and guid are generated using the XPath
generate-id(.) function :) The internal references are maintained/handled
gracefully!
Soon, I will be able to auto-import a set of Word HTML files or other
content into an EPF project. I think I could enrich the Word docs with
some suitable metadata that can later be extracted and used to insert the
Word doc the right place as the right type of MethodElement, perhaps even
splitting it up if necessary, or reusing parts as briefDescription or for
presentationName, version etc.
More to follow...

I have been refining my idea for a genereal purpose EPF content import
framework.
Now I am working on a small tool to extract the metadata from the
o:DocumentProperties section of a normal Word html export.
The following Word metadata provides a good basis for reuse in EPF
o:Subject -> EPF Type (Guideline, Task, ...)
o:Author -> Authors
o:LastAuthor -> Authors
o:Description -> Brief description
o:Revision -> Version
o:LastSaved -> Change date
o:Category -> Content Package hierarchy (fx "Design-Service" goes into
package Service, childpackage of Design)
<title> -> Presentation name
If the document is contained in a folder structure that matches the
Content package names this folder structure is used to indicate the
Content package it goes into (decision "by placement".
If Category is specified (and matches Content package) then Category will
override the decision "by placement".
Furthere suggestions or comments are welcome!
