Design and Implementation of a Visual Multi-XML Documents Mapping System

Based on analyzing the relative merits of the commercialized XML document mapping system like Microsoft Biztalk, this paper designs and implements a multi-XML document mapping system TRANSer. TRANSer provides user with a visual interface, which lets user finish designing the mapping relation by some simple operations such as pull-drag. It also offers kinds of functions to help realize complex mapping relations. One characteristic of TRANSer is that it allows multiple source XML documents to map to the destination XML document which can be created or edited when designing. Practices have proved that this system has high developing efficiency, strong describing ability and good extendability.
