A model driven XML transformation framework for business performance management

Abstract

As XML formats have been widely adopted for representing business documents both within and across enterprises, XML to XML translation becomes a common and critical component for business process integration. Due to limitations of popular approaches such as XSLT for XML translations, we designed a model driven development framework for XML to XML translation with the additional benefits of code re-use and strong built-in model validation. We further applied this framework to the domain of business performance management, converting documents from human-readable XML format to machine-readable XMI format. © 2005 IEEE.
