The invention relates to the processing of data in the XML form (Extensible Markup Language) so that the information contained in the data is made available for the use of existing software components. The invention also relates to a centralized management of the definitions carried out in order to process the information. When processing XML source data (301, 405), there is used a set of rules (302, 404) that include exact definitions as regards with what software components (304) the source data is used, what the employed source data (301, 405) is like and what is done to the source data at each step. The source data (301, 405) is modified, in a way defined in the set of rules (302, 404), in the processing component (303, 406), so that the modified source data is in a form required by the reusable software components (304).
