1. A mapping tool graphical user interface, comprising:
- a source screen region adapted to display a graphical representation of a source object comprising a plurality of source nodes;
a target screen region adapted to display a graphical representation of a target object comprising a plurality of target nodes; and
a mapping screen region adapted to allow a user to create a mapping between the graphical representation of the source object and the graphical representation of the target object using at least one of (1) an auto-linking indicia, (2) a function object adapted to call out to a programming artifact, and (3) a function object adapted to provide table looping such that data is generated and mapped into a target document.

Abstract
Mapping between a source object and a destination or target object uses techniques and functoids that provide an auto-linking feature in which mappings are automatically provided based solely on source and target field names, or, ignoring field names, field locations within hierarchy. Functoids provide support for callout to programming artifacts, such as custom programming logic embedded in .NET assemblies or custom XSLT, and table-looping to generate and map data into a target document even though that data did not exist in the map input.

13. In a mapping tool graphical user interface, a method of creating a mapping, comprising:
-
displaying a graphical representation of a source object in a source screen region, the source object comprising a plurality of source nodes;
displaying a graphical representation of a target object in a target screen region, the target object comprising a plurality of target nodes;
creating a mapping between the graphical representation of the source object and the graphical representation of the target object in a mapping screen region by selecting and using at least one of (1) an auto-linking indicia, (2) a function object adapted to call out to a programming artifact, and (3) a function object adapted to provide table looping such that data is generated and mapped into a target document; and
displaying the mapping in the mapping screen region. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
