ABSTRACT:
Among other disclosed subject matter, a computer-implemented method for creating a mapping includes obtaining a definition relating to a first schema, the definition comprising a first plurality of nodes to be mapped to a second schema comprising a second plurality of nodes. The method includes receiving at least one context value for the received definition, the context value being associated with at least one context category defined for the second schema. The method includes generating names corresponding to each of the nodes in the first plurality, the generated names being consistent with a naming rule for the second schema. The method includes mapping each of the nodes in the first plurality to a respective one of the nodes in the second plurality, wherein the context value and at least one of the generated names are taken into account in the mapping.
