VISUAL DATA MAPPING AND CODE GENERATION FOR DATA INTEGRATION

摘要

A data integration method and system that enables data architects and others to simply load structured data objects (e.g., XML schemas (32, 42), database tables (34, 44), EDI documents (36) or other structured data objects) and to visually draw mappings between and among elements in the data objects (FIG. 2). From there, the tool auto-generates software program code (Figure 11C) required, for example, to programmatically marshal data from a source data object to a target data object.
