deleteWhitespaces, replaces whitespaces and ',' with '_' (naming conventions). Important especially for further editing in Protege

Parameters:

input - String

Returns:

String

string2xml

public static org.w3c.dom.Document string2xml(java.lang.String s)

generates a DOM Document out of a XML String

Parameters:

s - input XML String

Returns:

Output DOM Document
