Hybrid XML transformation pipelines

Complex historical and scholarly XML benefits from a hybrid approach: deterministic rules wherever possible, language models only where interpretation is genuinely required.

Rule-based core

Validation, normalization and predictable structural conversions remain deterministic and testable.

LLM candidates

Ambiguous entries are identified explicitly and routed to model-assisted or manual processing.

Validation

Well-formedness, schema constraints, identifiers and semantic transformation quality are checked separately.
