Data representation schema translation through shared examples

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer usable medium having computer readable program code means embodied therein for causing a data representation schema translation, the computer readable program code means in said computer program product comprising:
• computer readable program code means for causing a computer to effect, identifying one or more shared examples encoded in two data representation schemas;
• and
• computer readable program code means for causing a computer to effect, automatically generating a translator based on said shared examples, wherein said translator is adapted for translating data between said two data representation schemas.

A method for data representation schema translation, said method comprising the steps of:

• identifying data encoded in a first data representation schema;
• converting said data encoded in said first data representation schema to an encoding in a second data representation schema;
• and
• automatically generating a translator based on common data encodings, in response to said identifying and converting, wherein said translator is adapted for translating data between said first data representation schema and said second data representation schema.

A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for data representation schema translation, said method steps comprising:

• identifying data encoded in a first data representation schema;
• converting said data encoded in said first data representation schema to an encoding in a second data representation schema;
• and
• automatically generating a translator based on common data encodings, in response to said identifying and converting, wherein said translator is adapted for translating data between said first data representation schema and said second data representation schema.
