The transformation language ELaX (Evolution Language for XML-Schema [16]) is a domain-specific language for modifying existing XML Schemas. ELaX was developed to express complex modifications by using add, delete and update statements. Additionally, it is used to consistently log all change operations specified by a user. In this paper we present the rule-based optimization algorithm ROfEL (Rule-based Optimizer for ELaX) for reducing the number of logged operations by identifying and removing unnecessary, redundant and also invalid modifications. This is an essential prerequisite for the co-evolution of XML Schemas and corresponding XML documents.
