Base Claim:
1. A method for use in converting semantic information from a source form to a target form, comprising the steps of: providing a computer-based analysis tool for automatically executing a conversion analysis having at least one conversion logic that is independent of any particular conversion environment associated with semantic information to be converted, wherein said at least one conversion logic is operative for analyzing at least one structural element of said semantic information without regard to any particular conversion environment associated with the semantic data; obtaining a first set of data reflecting a first conversion environment associated with first semantic information, wherein at least a portion of said first set of data is standardized; identifying the portion of said first set of data that is standardized; first operating said analysis tool on said standardized portion of said first set of data to automatically develop a first semantic metadata conversion model specific to said first conversion environment associated with said first semantic information utilizing said at least one conversion logic; and second operating said analysis tool to automatically convert a second set of data belonging to said first conversion environment associated with said first semantic information from said source form to said target form by applying said first developed semantic metadata conversion model to said second set of data, wherein said second set of data has at least a portion of data that is unstandardized.

Claim 5:
5. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said step of first operating comprises performing a statistical analysis on said first set of data to identify attributes and attribute values and to associate probability information with said attributes and attribute values.
