<p>A method and system for application-to-application data exchange which provides data conversion from the format of a source application to the format of a target application upon receipt of data by the target application. To achieve compatibility among applications exchanging data, the preferred system uses a standard set of terms and process names for building metadata packets that inform both applications as to their respective data representation. A metadata packet includes a standard name and application specific data format, as well as an optional associated process name.The source metadata employs repository of standard terms (103) and standard process repository (108) that enable applications having incompatible names and data formats to communicate with each other without converting their data structures at the source application to a different format.</p> |
