Abstract:
1. A method for use in developing applications for manipulating data, comprising the steps of: identifying a subject matter area of interest in relation to a desired conversion involving converting data between a first form and a second form; accessing a knowledge base for said subject matter area, wherein said knowledge base defines associations between data items of said first form and data items of said second form, wherein said associations are specific to said subject matter area identified; providing a user interface on a machine-based tool that allows a user to identify at least first and second desired functions to be executed with respect to one of source data or target data, said first desired function comprising a first one of data matching, data aggregation and data publishing and said second function comprising a second one of data matching, data aggregation and data publishing different than said first one of data matching, data aggregation and data publishing, wherein said first and second desired functions collectively define an application related to a defined business purpose in addition to the converting of data between the first form and the second form; and first operating a machine-based tool to use the knowledge base to generate logic based at least partially on said associations for performing said first desired function with respect to said subject matter area; and second operating said machine based tool to use the knowledge base to generate logic based at least partially on said associations for performing said second desired function with respect to said subject matter area.
