- current grouping key
-
From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source
The evaluation context for XPath expressions includes a component called the current grouping key, which is an atomic value. The current grouping key is the grouping key shared in common by all the items within the current group.

-
From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source
If either of the group-by attribute or group-adjacent attributes is present, then grouping keys are calculated for each item in the population. The grouping keys are the items in the sequence obtained by evaluating the expression contained in the group-by attribute or group-adjacent attribute, atomizing the result, and then casting an xs:untypedAtomic value to xs:string.

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source
A key is defined as a set of xsl:key declarations in the stylesheet that share the same name.

From XML Key Management (XKMS 2.0) Requirements (2003-05-05) | Glossary for this source
An input parameter that varies the transformation performed by a cryptographic algorithm [RFC2828]. For the purpose of XML key management we specifically mean public keys and private keys as used in a public key cryptosystem.Key management relates to the management of a public key's validity status over its lifetime. Typically, operations are defined for controlling the validity (e.g. register, revoke) and querying the validity.A property associating additional information with a public key. This might be used to convey status and validity period information for key validity queries or used to convey private key information as part of a registration request or response.A service that locates and returns a public key given identifying information for the key. Generally the request will include a KeyInfo element containing information sufficient for the service to locate the key. A common example is to provide the key name.A property defined in the XML Digital Signature recommendation, allowing a name to be associated with a key within a element. The Key Name property is not required and when associated with a key in registration is not required to be a unique identifier for that key.A service that verifies the binding of information to a public key and also determines the current status of that binding, if appropriate or possible for the information in question. For example, key validation [SECGL] may be performed based on elements secured to a public key in an X.509 certificate as outlined in PKIX [RFC 2459].

- key specifier
-
From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source
The expression in the use attribute and the sequence constructor within an xsl:key declaration are referred to collectively as the key specifier. The key specifier determines the values that may be used to find a node using this key.

From Glossary of "Weaving the Web" (1999-07-23) | Glossary for this source
A very neat bit of mathematics on which is based a security
system in which there is no need to exchange secret keys; instead,
people have one "private" key that only they know and one "public"
key that everyone knows.

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source
Within a sort key specification, each xsl:sort element defines one sort key component.

-
From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source
A sort key specification is a sequence of one or more adjacent xsl:sort elements which together define rules for sorting the items in an input sequence to form a sorted sequence.
- sort key value
-
From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source
For each item in the initial sequence, a value is computed for each sort key component within the sort key specification. The value computed for an item by using the Nth sort key component is referred to as the Nth sort key value of that item.
