Patent ID: 8793468

Claim:
A method for translation map simplification, comprising: receiving input data by a computer device; determining, by the computer device, a translation map based on a predetermined criterion in response to receiving the input data, the translation map being configured for translating the input data from a first format or data model to a second format or data model that is presented in a new map; loading, by the computer device, the translation map determined based on the predetermined criterion; determining, by the computer device, if the translation map extends another map, the other map comprising a referenced map; determining, by the computer device, if the translation map comprises at least one map fragment; loading, by the computer device, the referenced map in response to a determination that the translation map comprises an extension of the referenced map; loading, by the computer device, the at least one map fragment in response to a determination that the translation map comprises the at least one map fragment; compiling, by the computer device, the new map based on combining at least the translation map, the referenced map and the at least one map fragment, in response to a determination that the translation map does not comprise at least one of a new map reference and a modification to the translation map; and processing the input data, by the computer device, based on the new map to produce translated data specific to the new map.
