MESSAGE TRANSFORMATION MAP OBJECT MODEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18181475 titled 'MESSAGE TRANSFORMATION MAP OBJECT MODEL
The abstract describes a method for representing message transformation rules in integration platforms using transformation rule trees of objects in map object models. These trees serve as an intermediate representation of the rules and are instantiated from classes within message transformation class hierarchies.
- Transformation rule trees are used to represent message transformation rules in integration platforms.
- Objects in the tree are instantiated from classes within message transformation class hierarchies.
- Map object models are applied by transformation engines to map incoming message schemas to outgoing message schemas.
- The engines select data fragments from incoming messages and construct outgoing messages based on these fragments and computational results.
- The method is format-independent, allowing for flexibility in schema definitions.
- Potential Applications:
- Integration platforms - Data transformation systems - Message processing systems
- Problems Solved:
- Efficient mapping of incoming message schemas to outgoing message schemas - Flexibility in handling different message formats - Streamlining message transformation processes
- Benefits:
- Improved data interoperability - Enhanced message processing efficiency - Simplified message transformation rule representation
- Commercial Applications:

Original Abstract Submitted
Message transformation rules for integration platforms are represented in a computing system using transformation rule trees of objects in map object models. The transformation rule tree is an intermediate representation of the transformation rule. The objects in the tree are instantiated from classes of one or more message transformation class hierarchies. Some example classes include iterator statement, conditional statement, and expression classes. Some example expression classes include constant, variable, function, and selector classes. In a message transformation architecture, transformation rules map incoming message schemas to outgoing message schemas. Transformation engines transform incoming messages to outgoing messages by applying the map object models to select data fragments of an incoming message and construct an outgoing message, from the fragments and from computational results of routines invoked on the fragments. Map object models are not dependent on particular formats for schema definitions.
