Candidate Mapping Notations

At July 2010, three candidate notations have been identified for evaluation:
- The Open Mapping Language, based on that used by the mapping and transformation tools on the HL7 GForge site
- The OMG QVT (Query-Verify-Transform) languages, defined in the QVT Specification
- The OMG MDMI (Model Based Message Interoperability) language, defined at MDMI Consortium
The Open Mapping Language definition is now available for review.

A Preliminary assessment of the two OMG languages is given in Media:OMGMapping.doc.
XSLT is another possibility, but is currently not being considered as it is usually not easy to read and understand. Proprietary structure-to-structure (S2S) mapping notations, such as that in Altova’s MapForce, are not being considered because they do not support semantic mapping.
