The XSLTFilter pipeline element defines the XSLT document and is used to do the transformation of the input XML into XML or plain text. You can have multiple XSLTFilter elements in a pipeline if you want to break the transformation into steps, or wish to have simpler XSLTs that can be reused.

Raw Event Feeds are typically translated into the event-logging:3 schema and Raw Reference into the reference-data:2 schema.
