<p>There is provided a method of generating computer instructions for creating instances of a hierarchical data format from a flat record stream, said flat record stream containing data in a flat format and containing at least some data redundancy, the method using a computing device having at least a processor, a memory, a display device and an input device, and the method comprising:
allowing a developer to use said input device to create a graphical representation of said hierarchical data format;
allowing a developer to use said input device to create a graphical representation of a mapping between said flat format and said hierarchical format; and
generating, at said processor, computer instructions which when executed on a computer cause the computer to create from said flat record stream instances of said hierarchical format, and wherein said instances of said hierarchical format remove said data redundancy.</p> |
