Abstract

Modern information systems may exploit numerous web services for communication. Each web service may exploit its own XML format for data representation which causes problems with their integration and evolution.

Manual integration and management of evolution of the XML formats may be very hard. This software tool implements a novel method which exploits a conceptual diagram.

We implement an algorithm which helps a domain expert to map the XML formats to the conceptual diagram. It measures similarities between the XML formats and the diagram and adjusts them on the base of the input from the expert.

The result is a precise mapping.
