Methods and apparatus are provided for mapping XML source documents to target documents using schema embeddings. According to one aspect of the invention, one or more edges in the one or more source schemas are mapped to one or more paths in at least one target schema. The disclosed mapping techniques ensure that (i) one or more source documents that conform to one or more of the source schemas can be recovered from one or more target documents that conform to the at least one target schema, if a mapping exists between the one or more of the source schemas and the at least one target schema; (ii) queries on one or more source documents that conform to one or more of the source schemas in a given query language can be answered on one or more target documents that conform to the at least one target schema; and (iii) the one or more target documents conform to a target schema.

Embodiments of a graphical mapping interface and method are provided herein for creating and displaying a schema map, which may be used by a data transformation system to perform a data transformation between at least one source schema and at least one target schema. According to one embodiment, the graphical mapping interface may generally comprise a main map window and a mini-map window. The main map window comprises a source schema region, which is adapted for displaying a graphical representation of a primary source schema defining a structure of a primary data source. The mini-map window is adapted for creating a mapping between one or more nodes of the primary source schema and one or more nodes of an intermediate target schema, and displaying a graphical representation of the mapping within the mini-map window. Upon closing the mini-map window, a graphical representation of the intermediate target schema is displayed in the source schema region of the main map window and accessible for mapping within the main map window.

The present invention creates a model that maps object classes in an object-oriented environment to a data source. The model maps the relationship between properties of each object class and data of the data source. The present invention can be used with a data source such as a relational database, user interface, file system, or object-oriented database. An application's object classes and data source schema are designed independent of the other since the model can be used to map one to the other. The model is comprised of entities and attributes. An entity maps to an object class and to at least one table of the DBMS. An entity contains attributes either simple or derived. A simple attribute maps to a DBMS column. A derived attribute is a combination of other attributes and does not directly map to a DBMS column. A relationship creates a link between entities of the model. A relationship can be used to flatten an attribute or flatten a relationship. A flattened attribute is an attribute of one entity that is added to another entity. A flattened relationship is created by the elimination of intermediate relationships between two entities. Relationships can be either unidirectional or bi-directional. A unidirectional relationship has a single traversal path that has a source entity and a destination. A bi-directional relationship has two traversal paths. A reflexive relationship can be created using a single entity. The model is used to synchronize object properties and the data of the data source.

Embodiments of the present invention provide the ability to effectively visualize the mapping between two schemas, referred to herein as a source schema (or first schema) and a destination schema (or second schema), regardless of the size or complexity of the schemas and mappings. According to one aspect of the present invention a method for visually representing a mapping between a first schema and a second schema is provided. The method includes receiving a selection of an object, emphasizing the selected object and identifying a plurality of objects that are relevant to the selected object. The objects that are identified as being relevant to the selected object are also emphasized.

A computerized method, program product, and a service that discovers trace data inserted into a source database having an unknown schema. Once the trace data is found by a dynamic data discovery engine, the tables, the fields, and the attributes of the fields in the source schema in which the trace data were located can be evaluated to determine if the data in the fields are pertinent to a target database. If so, then the data in those fields can be mapped and transferred to a target database. The dynamic data discovery engine generates the commands in both the source and the target database command language to find all pertinent data, map and transfer the data from the source database to a target database. The dynamic data discovery engine generates commands to create the target database and / or fields within an existing target database for the mapped and transferred data.

A notification service and correspondingly configured wireless device for providing asynchronous communications over a communication network for an application of the wireless device in communication with a selected service. The selected service has a source schema definition including an output notification definition associated with a correlation ID. The notification service comprises a reverse schema definition of the source schema definition such that the reverse schema definition includes an input notification operation definition corresponding to the output notification definition. The input definition is associated with the correlation ID and a parameter list of the output definition. The output definition is for defining an output message of the selected source that corresponds to an input message of the notification service defined by the input definition. The notification service has a first communication port adapted for receiving the output message of the selected service as the input message to the notification service, wherein the messages are adapted to include the correlation ID for identifying the network address of the wireless device. The information contents of the output message of the selected source are transmitted as an asynchronous communication to the application of the wireless device identified by the correlation ID.

An improved system for determining compliance between a source document structure in accordance with a source schema and a target schema includes: data storage; and a processor for executing software code. The software code causes the processor to: create a source schema description and a target schema description; receive the source document which includes an ordered tree structure with labeled elements and including a subtree; identify all corresponding element types in the source and target schemas for grouping the corresponding element types into element type pairs; classify each element type pair; and confirm compliance of the source document.
