DATA CONVERTER
First Claim
1. A method for preparing a data converter between a source apparatus, in which source data items have been stored according to a predetermined specification of source representation and a user apparatus having a specification of user representation for utilization of user data items, the method comprising:
- setting up a pair of machine-interpretable source and user descriptors respectively, of the source and user specifications of representation respectively,comparing the source descriptor and the user descriptor to determine therefrom a mutual discordance, andusing at least one processor, setting up an interpretation block for data interpretation by a machine, wherein the block is set up to control a conversion between homologous data elements of the source descriptor and the user descriptor respectively.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for preparing a data converter between a source apparatus, in which source data items have been stored according to a predetermined specification of source representation, and a user apparatus having a specification of user representation for the utilization of user data items. The method includes: setting up a pair of machine-interpretable source and user descriptors respectively, of the source and user specifications of representation respectively; and comparing between the source descriptor and the user descriptor to set up therefrom a block for data interpretation by a machine.
