Hi Folks, How do you define those terms? Are they synonymous? Is one a subset of another? By "mapping" I mean populating XML instances of one data standard with data from another data standard. For example, I am currently mapping a military air navigation data standard to a civilian air navigation data standard. By "filtering" I mean performing actions on data such as redacting, fuzzing, and zeroing. One could think of these actions as mapping: if I fuzz a lat/long location, I am essentially mapping the location to another location. By "transforming" I mean all the kinds of things you can do with XSLT. Is filtering a subset of mapping? Is mapping a subset of transforming? /Roger
