我有一个XML文件，例如

<ns0:Employees xmlns:ns0="http://TestIndexMap.Employees">
  <Employee FirstName="FirstName_0" LastName="LastName_1" dept="dept_2" empNumber="1">
    <Schedules>
      <Schedule Date_join="2008-01-20" Date_end="2008-01-30" />
    </Schedules>
  </Employee>
  <Employee FirstName="FirstName_0" LastName="LastName_1" dept="dept_2" empNumber="2">
    <Schedules>
      <Schedule Date_join="2008-01-20" Date_end="2008-01-30" />
    </Schedules>
  </Employee>
  <Employee FirstName="FirstName_2" LastName="LastName_1" dept="dept_2" empNumber="2">
    <Schedules>
      <Schedule Date_join="2007-01-21" Date_end="2007-12-30" />

    </Schedules>
  </Employee>
  <Employee FirstName="FirstName_2" LastName="LastName_1" dept="dept_2" empNumber="2">
    <Schedules>
      <Schedule Date_join="2007-01-21" Date_end="2007-12-30" />
      <Schedule Date_join="2008-06-20" Date_end="2008-01-30" />

    </Schedules>
  </Employee>
</ns0:Employees>

我想删除基于fistname，姓氏，date_join和data_end的重复项。

请，有人可以解释如何使用XSLT实现这一目标吗？

解决方案

以下是一些如何根据元素名称和id字段删除重复项的示例。将其扩展到任意字段应该不太困难。

Q: Expansion.   A part of my xml looks
  like this:

<location>
   <state>xxxx</state>
 </location>

 <location>
    <state>yyyy</state>
 </location>

  <location>
    <state>xxxx</state>
 </location>

The desired output is:

xxxx
yyyy

That is, duplicate values of state should not be printed.
  Can this be done?

<xsl:variable name="unique-list"
     select="//state[not(.=following::state)]" />   

   <xsl:for-each select="$unique-list">
 <xsl:value-of select="." />
   </xsl:for-each>
