XML Based Manipulation of Codes Exchanged Between Data Systems

Abstract

Codes are an abbreviated form of information that are often found in many databases. Codes provide the database with a compaction of information and concise definition of data values. For most databases, the codes are developed specifically for the local database and processing system. In a data-sharing environment, the specific code development results in different database systems referring to similar data using different codes. The conversion of codes is required when these systems share data. The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is used to construct a code mapping between two systems and eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) are used to convert the codes in the XML documents.
