  Description     : A different sort of structured-data transformation utility

4DML is a tool for structure transformation, like XSLT, TXL,
Rigal, etc.  4DML's approach is different: You provide a
"model" of the desired output structure, and 4DML determines
from that model how the input is to be read.  This means you
don't have to write so many "rules".  Although 4DML is slow
to run, its models are (in many cases) quicker to write and
easier to maintain; hence it can be useful for prototyping
transformations.

4DML works by representing the structure in a geometric
space with many dimensions, where the model acts as an
alternate frame of reference.  It can easily handle matrix
transposition (sometimes needed in musical notation) and
otherwise changing the permutation of different levels of
the tree.  It's also possible to write transformations that
follow links (in either direction).

There should be more documentation for 4DML soon because I'm
writing up my thesis on it.  Anyone intending to package it
can contact me about this.

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

 reopen 177315
 stop

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
177315@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
