Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, in a data processing system having a processor and a data storage device, for mapping between at least two data models, comprising: selecting, by a user via a user interface of the data processing system, a source document in a computing system having a first data model having a first structure; selecting, by the user via the user interface, a target format or target document in a computing system having a second data model having a second structure; defining, by the user via the user interface, a relationship between the first data model and the second data model based on the first structure and the second structure, wherein the first structure and second structure are different; generating, by the processor of the data processing system, a bi-directional map between the first and second data models from at least portions of the source document, the target format or document, and the defined relationship, wherein the bi-directional map converts the content of a data store from the first data model to the second data model and converts the content of a data store from the second data model to the first data model; and storing the bi-directional map in the data storage device of the data processing system, wherein generating a bi-directional map between the first and second data models comprises:
