Abstract

In this paper, a model-driven approach to transform data format is provided. Original data is extracted from heterogeneous sources and is initially presented in a generic format called the public view format. Our approach includes a complete process of data transformation starting with data in public view format and ending with generating different kinds of formats (Excel, XML, HTML, etc.). There are three main stages in the proposed model-driven process: the input file injection which inserts the public view’s data in their corresponding model, the model-to-model transformation to bridge between the public view’s model and the output file’s model and finally the output file extraction to extract the output file from its corresponding model. Experimental results show that a model-driven approach for data transformation outperforms a code-centric approach in terms of execution time and automation rate.
