Data transformation is initiated by first obtaining a technical design document comprising non-machine-executable expressions of rules for transforming input data into output data. In one embodiment, a graphical user interface is employed to specify how to obtain the technical design document, as well as to designate locations of the input and output data. Thereafter, the technical design document is parsed such that the non-machine-executable expressions of the rules may serve as the basis for generating machine-executable transformation expressions. The resulting machine-executable transformation expressions may be optionally stored and subsequently applied to input data residing in one or more suitable repositories. In this manner, the instant techniques eliminate the need to capture the data transform rules using a data transformation tool, and instead rely on capturing the rules directly from the technical design documents, thereby improving efficiency and accuracy. |
