Abstract
A method, system, and computer-readable code for retrieving style sheets from a directory or other repository, based upon partial characteristic matching. Characteristics are associated with style sheets, and retrieval is accomplished by specifying a pattern which includes one or more of the characteristics. Preferably, the style sheet characteristics are stored as LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) objects in an LDAP directory. The style sheets may be encoded in Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL), or any other style sheet language having equivalent semantics.
