Method, system, and program for translating and interfacing between data pools and product information management (PIM) systems
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- generating an element mapping for each of a plurality of data pools mapping user elements and attributes to the data pool elements and attributes, wherein the data pools maintain product information;
generating a message mapping for each of the plurality of data pools mapping user messages and their parameters to data pool messages and their parameters; and
maintaining for each of the plurality of data pools code enabled to cause operations comprising receiving a first document including user elements and messages and mapping the user elements and messages in the first document to a second document including data pool elements and attributes corresponding to the user elements and messages in the first document.

Abstract
Provided are a method, system, and program for translating and interfacing between data pools and product information management (PIM) systems. An element mapping is generated for each of a plurality of data pools mapping user elements and attributes to the data pool elements and attributes, wherein the data pools maintain product information. A message mapping is generated for each of the plurality of data pools mapping user messages and their parameters to data pool messages and their parameters. For each of the plurality of data pools, code is maintained that is enabled to cause operations comprising receiving a first document including user elements and messages and mapping the user elements and messages in the first document to a second document including data pool elements and attributes corresponding to the user elements and messages in the first document.

14. A system in communication with a plurality of data pools, comprising:
-
a processor;
a computer readable medium in communication with the processor, comprising;
(i) an element mapping for each of the plurality of data pools mapping user elements and attributes to the data pool elements and attributes, wherein the data pools maintain product information;
(ii) a message mapping for each of the plurality of data pools mapping user messages and their parameters to data pool messages and their parameters; and
(iii) code, for each of the plurality of data pools, enabled to cause the processor to receive a first document including user elements and messages and map the user elements and messages in the first document to a second document including data pool elements and attributes corresponding to the user elements and messages in the first document. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. An article of manufacture in communication with a plurality of data pools, wherein the article of manufacture is enabled to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
processing an element mapping for each of the plurality of data pools mapping user elements and attributes to the data pool elements and attributes, wherein the data pools maintain product information;
processing a message mapping for each of the plurality of data pools mapping user messages and their parameters to data pool messages and their parameters; and
processing for each of the plurality of data pools code enabled to cause operations comprising receiving a first document including user elements and messages and mapping the user elements and messages in the first document to a second document including data pool elements and attributes corresponding to the user elements and messages in the first document. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
